Decisions you make in an instant can be the difference between life and death. There are some simple things you can do to help you stay safe when operating your side-by-side.
Farm owners/managers
If you own or manage a farm, you are a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA).
A PCBU must make sure workers and other people are not at risk from the work done on the farm, and make sure everyone remains healthy and safe.
While your workers have responsibilities to keep themselves safe, your responsibilities include making sure that:
- the vehicles workers use on farm are safe and well-maintained
- workers have the right training
- you provide the right safety gear.
