team at Australian Farm Safety
Co with their agricultural management backgrounds can provide practical
solutions to assist your Occupational Health and Safety compliance.
OH&S CONSULTING:
Understanding the requirements of OHS on farms and associated industry sites can be a daunting task that is frequently put in the too hard basket. Don't despair or listen to the rumours at the saleyards, we can offer practical advice based on our industry understanding and provide the tools including relevant industry standards and assistance to get you up and running.
OH&S MANAGEMENT:
OHS is not a system that you can set and forget once implemented, it requires regular reviews and ongoing management to meet continual compliance. Most small businesses cannot afford a full time safety officer which usually means it is added to someone's workload. Our service provides regular site visit, managing all facets of the safety system, organising training and updating risk assessments. We offer comprehensive competitive packages to suit your budget.
RISK ASSESSMENTS & SAFETY ACTION PLANS:
The key to the NSW OHS Regulations 2001 is the requirement to perform Risk Assessments and manage risk. We provide a complete risk assessment on all plant, equipment, infrastructure and operations. Our detailed reports provide recommendations to control and manage risks and is written in an easy to follow format.
SAFETY AUDITS:
If you have a safety system in place but are unsure of its effectiveness than a safety audit is what you require. A Safety Audit will identify any weaknesses in your system and provide you with the solutions to "keep it right".
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS:
The management demands for agricultural industries continue to grow either from customer expectations or Government legislation. In the past years the industry has been bombarded with the need to manage and keep records on chemical treatments, property risk management, Occupational Health and Safety, and environmental management. All these areas have synergies and can be managed simply by a single system based on Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental and Quality Management systems. This single system lets you meet all the legislative demands of running a business and the demanding requirements of the EPA and WorkCover as well as any on farm QA or LPA (TM).
WORKER INDUCTIONS & COMPETENCY ASSESSMENTS:
The NSW OHS Regulations require workers to be trained, competent and provided with instruction. We have developed tools to assist with implementing this requirement into your OHS program. We can provide the on site induction and training that will assist you to educate your workers and avoid any confrontation that can be invoked with change.
OH&S POLICY & PROCEDURES MANUALS:
The development of Policy and Procedure Manuals should be a culmination of the development of a safety system and a management tool not a dust collector. There are many "off the shelf" manuals available, and many don't apply to our industry. Let us develop a system that suits your needs.
OH&S TRAINING:
Australian Farm Safety Co has written specialised training programs for clients on request

AUCTION RISK ASSESSMENTS:
The sale of plant and equipment by auction requires a risk assessment to be undertaken to identify and safety hazards associated with the machinery. Our on site service provides you with written risk assessments for your records and those of the purchaser and lets you meet your legal requirements.
CONTRACTOR RISK ASSESSMENT CHECKLISTS & CONTRACT BOOKS:
Contractors have an obligation to conduct risk assessments for all sites where they apply their services. Our duplicate checklist books provide all the necessary tools to get you started at each job. The books also include a contracting agreement that will assist to professionalise your business.
