Agriculture safety learning network

Bringing farmers and experts together

Lead organisations brought together groups of farmers to improve safety on farms and prevent fatalities and injuries. Sadly farmers continue to be overrepresented in workplace deaths, and incidents occur on Victorian farms every day – but they don't have to.

The Safety learning networks pilot is an opportunity for organisations to collaborate with WorkSafe and support industry-wide change. They bring together farmers, industry bodies and experts with the aim to improve safety on farms by creating collaborative networks that take action and lead change on safety issues in farming businesses. As a result these networks have contributed to improving safety on farms and help prevent fatalities and injuries in the agriculture sector.
