Description:
South West organic beef producer Emma Bolding considers on-farm safety to be a non-negotiable aspect of her family business.

Through the Farm Safety Rebate, Emma and her partner were able to upgrade the livestock handling facilities on their property improving safety for themselves and others working on the farm.

Installation of the new equipment has had immediate health and safety benefits, and Emma has also seen improvements and efficiencies to the workflow when moving cattle through the yards plus better access to the animals because of the improved construction of the new equipment.

Through the Victorian Government funded Making our Farms Safer project, the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is providing farm safety advice and support for all Victorian farmers, visit https://www.vff.org.au/project/making-our-farms-safer/ for more information.

WorksafeVictoria provides the OHS Essentials program, a free workplace safety consultation service, delivered by independent occupational health and safety experts worksafe.vic.gov.au/ohs-essentials-program

The $5 million Farm Safety Rebate Scheme is fully subscribed and was closed to new applications on 30 March 2021.
