Our Workshops
Taking a 3-pronged approach to rural safety, FarmSafe is made up
of three programmes with each focusing on a different area of farm
safety - FarmSafe Awareness, FarmSafe Plans and FarmSafe
Skills.
Although they can be attended in any order, the programmes have
been designed to follow on from each other:
- FarmSafe
Awareness is the first step of the 3-pronged approach
to safety, designed to heighten awareness of injury
prevention.
- FarmSafe
Plans is the second step, which focuses on the
development of a health and safety plan for the participant's
property.
- FarmSafe
Skills is the third step. It is a series of individual
interactive workshops that focus on practical skills such as ATV
riding, chainsaw operation, driving tractors, riding motorbikes,
animal handling, four wheel drives, and agrichemicals.
- The FarmSafe Skills Agrichemical Approved Handler workshop is
designed for farmers and growers who store and use
agrichemicals. Participants who successfully complete this
course will gain an Approved Handler certification.
FarmSafe programmes are tailored specifically to agriculture and
horticultural sectors. They make no distinction for
experience in the industry and are relevant to all New Zealand
pastoral and horticulture farm owners, managers, staff and family
members (over the age of 16 years). The programmes are
suitable for all farm businesses, no matter how small or large and
they are delivered locally at a time and venue to suit.
