WorkSafe Farm Safety Plan: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how farm employers in Australia can use this safety plan to meet legal requirements and manage workplace risks.
This scheme provides tools to help agricultural businesses meet their legal obligations regarding workplace health and safety.
Who it's for
This is designed for all farm employers.
What you get
You receive access to templates and legal frameworks designed to help you meet Work Health and Safety (WHS) compliance. These resources help you build a structured plan to manage safety on your property.
What it costs you
The resources are free to download. However, you will need to invest time to document the specific risks present on your farm to make the plan effective.
The catch to know
Simply having a written safety plan is not enough to meet your legal obligations. You must be able to prove that you are actively managing those risks through ongoing action and oversight.
