We have launched a new seatbelts advert as part of our new 'You can sense it. You can stop it.' campaign. After an analysis of vehicle-related fatalities, we found that nearly half those that occur on farm could have been avoided if a seatbelt was being used. Click on the image below to watch the advert.
If you’re self-employed or own a small to medium-sized business in the agriculture sector, you might be eligible for a workplace injury prevention subsidy to help pay for a crush protection device (CPD) for quad bikes at work. We recommend you use an alternative vehicle or different work practices to avoid the risk of quad bike rollovers. Visit the ACC website for more information.
The decisions people make on the farm on vehicles can be the difference between life and death. So how can you be sure you've got the right vehicle for the job?
Come along and visit the WorkSafe stand at this year's Mystery Creek Fieldays for a spin on our side-by-side simulator and chat to our people about simple ways to keep you and your family safe. We'll also be promoting our free Hazardous Substances Calculator, as well as plenty of other giveaways so be sure to drop by.
