Workshop Safety

Every farm has a requirement to carry out machinery repairs. Adopting safe work practices are essential when carrying out maintenance or repairs in the workshop. If equipment is not used safely, serious or fatal injury can occur. When carrying out repairs or maintenance in the workshop, give your health and safety-first priority during every task.
