HORT360
It has recently come to my attention the abovementioned web page which is specifically designed as a best management practice program for the horticultural industry. Whilst most content is not relevant to the sugar industry one area that I found to be of interest is Hort360’s “Workplace Safety” section which highlights and reiterates what has been published previously on KCGO web page that as an employer, growers have a legal responsibility and ultimately liability for the health and safety of workers, contractors and contractors employees under WHS Legislation.
There is a wealth of information available from this site that can be utilised or adapted for sugar cane growing. I would encourage members to become familiar with its content and utilise/adapt what you deem to be appropriate for your business.
