On most farms there is no safety department, no induction room and no toolbox talk. There is the person who owns the place, a couple of workers who may well be family, whoever has turned up for the season and a long drive to the nearest hospital.
These courses are short, most of them about 40 minutes, and they can be done at the kitchen table at night instead of driving somebody into town for a day. Where the law differs between states, the course carries the law for your state, including the right regulator and the right number to call if something does happen.
Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.
A farm carries the same work health and safety duties as a factory and about a hundredth of the administration behind them. There is nobody to write the induction and nobody to check that it happened.
These courses are the written part, done. They do not cover your paddocks, your machinery or your chemical shed, and no course can. They cover the general knowledge everything else sits on top of.
The hardest people to train are the ones who are only here for six weeks. By the time an induction is organised the season is half over.
Seats can be bought ahead and sent out by email on the day somebody starts. The register shows who finished and when, so next season you can see at a glance who has already done it.
