Free resources | Stay safe and operational this harvest season
 
As we prepare for a busy harvest season and the potential of a hot dry summer, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

We’re here to help you plan ahead with free resources on inducting new workers, fire preparedness and emergency procedures, seasonal worker safety, managing fatigue and more.

• New workers and not sure where to start? The Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) Making Our Farms Safer program offers farm visits, presentations and resources. The OHS Essentials program is another option for confidential and personalised safety support from an ag industry expert at a time that suits you. Email ohsessentials@worksafe.vic.gov.au to get started.
• Employing workers from the Pacific Islands? Seasonal workers are vital for harvest but can face unique risks on farms, so Victoria’s Pacific Island community worked with us to create straightforward safety resources. The videos, posters, and guides can help with induction and training, and are available in five languages: Bislama, Fijian, Tongan Samoan & English
