VICTORIAN Farmers Federation has launched its latest Making our Farms Safer Project to boost awareness and highlight the on-farm risks for children through a new safety campaign.
President Emma Germano said the campaign start coincided with National Farm Safety Week and would see a dedicated safety guidebook launched for farming families.
“The Australian agriculture industry sadly represents the highest proportion of accidents causing death in any workplace, with children tragically making up one quarter of these numbers.
“We need to do all we can as an industry to ensure no one has to endure the heartbreak, pain, loss and emptiness that losing a child to a preventable on-farm accident results in,” Ms Germano said.
