As an employer, you carry significant legal responsibility and liability for ensuring the health and safety of your workers under the Work Health and Safety and Other Legislation. As a horticulture employer, your responsibilities are heightened due to the nature of our industry, and the range of potential hazards and risks on a farm.

Although there are some costs associated with implementing safe workplace practices, taking no action can be serious and expensive – for you and your workers.

By completing the risk assessment you will gain a better understanding of where you currently sit in relation to matters of compliance and best practice and be provided with suggestions to help fix any problem areas
