Farm Safety Week promotes no-harm farms
The latest data shows that the agriculture industry accounts for 2% of the workforce but 21% of worker fatalities.
In order to raise awareness and ensure farm workers are safe, Safe Work Australia will be holding Farm Safety Week from 16–22 July.
Farms present a combination of hazards, including exposure to noise, quad bikes, plant and machinery, working with animals, chemicals, dust, sun exposure, working alone or working remotely.
Data suggests that the agricultural industry accounts for 3% of serious claims for workers compensation.
Throughout Farm Safety Week, Safe Work Australia will be showcasing videos, codes, guides and case studies to help people create a no-harm farm.
Sign up to the mailing list and follow on social media for notifications about the event.
