We're a large wholesale nursery here in Victoria

in the Yarra Valley. This particular farm is on a very steep slope.

[Matt Davis walks between large machinery.]

We have very rich muddy soils.

That's a big risk, once it gets wet

you're dealing with equipment that can be anywhere up to four to 16 tonnes.

[Returns to Matt Davis, speaking to camera.]

So once you start heading down

a slope and it gets a bit slippery it does take off.

So, with all these different types of machinery that we use

we do have an enormous amount of responsibility for people's safety.

So there's a lot of risk and there's a lot of training.

[Returns to Matt Davis, speaking to camera.]

And a lot that goes on to make sure that the people who are operating those particular machines are well trained and versed in using that equipment.

[Mid-shot of two employees working together to plant a tree.]

So, they do a lot of external training.

Most of them have also got their dogman ticket,

their excavator ticket. Just to create general awareness of equipment and heavy machinery.

[Returns to Matt Davis, speaking to camera.]

We've had accidents, I'm not afraid to say. And hopefully we all learn from them in terms of changing the way that we do it.
