WorkSafe Agriculture Health and Safety: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how farm employers and contractors can access safety guidelines and compliance tools to meet health and safety requirements.

This scheme provides resources to help those working in the farming sector manage risks and stay safe on the job.

Who it's for

This is for all farm employers and contractors working in the agricultural sector.

What you get

You can access safety guidelines and templates to help you stay compliant with health and safety standards. These resources are designed to help you create an H&S plan (a written safety strategy) and a hazard register (a list of potential dangers on your site).

What it costs you

There is no direct fee for these resources, but it will require your time to implement these safety management systems into your daily operations.

The catch to know

Simply performing a self-assessment of your farm is not enough to meet requirements; you must maintain documented evidence of the hazards you have identified.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official website.
  2. Browse the available safety guidelines and templates.
  3. Use the resources to build your safety management systems.
