Questions & answers

The combination of hazards and the nature of farm work makes agriculture one of the most dangerous sectors in which to work. We bring together sector experts and WorkSafe agricultural safety inspectors to discuss priority topics and provide ideas and practical approaches for establishing good safety practices on farms.

Agricultural and farm operators, health and safety representatives, statutory officers and others who have a role or interest in health and safety and the prevention of fatalities in the WA agricultural industry are encouraged to attend.
