Farm and Rural Safety Training
On most farms there's no safety department, no induction room and no toolbox talk. There's the owner, a few workers and whoever's turned up for the season. These courses are short, most about 40 minutes, and can be done at the kitchen table at night. Courses covering state-specific rules name the state in the lesson.
- $39 to $59 a course
- Most under an hour, works on a phone
- Completion certificate with a verification ID

When you are the safety department
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.
They cover the general knowledge everything else sits on top of. They do not cover your paddocks, your machinery or your chemical shed, and they do not finish the information, training and instruction the person who runs the farm must still provide.
Seasonal and casual workers
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.
