Western Australian farmers are the winners with Safe Farms WA launching a new name, new brand and new website that aims to protect farming families, employees and contractors, and improve farm business performance through be er safety awareness and prac ces.
Safe Farms WA has launched a suite of new packages as well to support the farming industry work towards compliance with legisla on. Also available is a full ‘Farm Safety System’ which is a comprehensive customised manual, to help growers across all enterprises build a culture of safety, health and wellbeing.
Maree Gooch, Project Director for Safe Farms WA said “We know that it’s complicated! There are up to 18 pieces of legisla on that apply to farming. Safe Farms WA aims to help industry do what it needs to do to work towards compliance and most importantly, everyone go home safely – EVERY DAY !”
Maree added “There can be large fines, the risk losing your farm and even jail me because you weren’t aware of your responsibili es in regards to safety. The farming industry has to realise that they are leaving themselves wide open by ignoring OHS obliga ons. It is pleasing to see that informa on is ge ng to farmers through groups such as WIFE, WA Farmers, the AAACWA and Grower Group Alliance members”
Hopgood Ganim law firm have joined Safe Farms WA as an important industry alliance partner and hosted the AGM and launch on October 5th. As part of the partnership, Hopgood Ganim are offering a free 30 minute consulta on to Safe Farms WA members who subscribe to the Farm Safety System package – condi ons apply.
Safe Farms WA recently received $20,000 from the CBH Group to develop the website, www.safefarms.net.au, which was showcased recently at the Newdegate Field Days, providing growers with trustworthy, up to date materials and important informa on relevant to their farming business.
Safety Champion and Chair of Safe Farms WA Mike Norton said “Western Australian farmers are global eaders in innova on and produc on – we can also be leaders in on-farm safety,” Mr Norton said.
“Our partnership with Hopgood Ganim law firm and CBH are fine examples of having industry on board suppor ng us so that we can provide the solu ons farmers need.
“We’re pleased that there is recogni on for the importance of safety on farms, and we will con nue to work hard and build strategic alliances with industry.”
SAFE FARMS WA VISION
