What is a Risk Assessment?

A Risk Assessment is basically…..thinking about, recognising and then recording the risks on your farm.

Documenting this process not only keeps you organised but shows that you have thought about what could go wrong, what you already do to reduce the risk and what you can do in the future to further improve.

I do offer risk assessment for a fee as a part of establishing an Action Plan, so contact me if you would like me to work with you to get you started.

If you want to DIY, there are lots of resources you can use to help.

  • Ag Health – Farmers – Website
  • Farm Safety Self Assessment-NSW

Below, I have separated the quick safety scans established by Safework SA for the Farmers Guidebook. These are ‘risk assessments’ you can use. If you answer ‘sometimes’ or ‘never’, then add these items to your Action Plan so they can be further considered or addressed.

    There is a lot of inspection that work can done at height using drones. It may be useful to inform farmers about their capabilities. I would be interested to collaborate with you on raising awareness of this topic.

    @Braydocaldy @Warramboo #portspencer has never been considered for hydrogen. That comment was the Govt trying to be 'nice' to everyone. The EPLGA, Regional Development EP and the Federal Govt publicly support the #capehardy site.
