In collaboration with National Centre for Farmer Health, WorkSafe Victoria presents a hands-on event in Hamilton on 3 October dedicated to improving safety and well-being in agriculture. This is just one of WorkSafe’s many Health and Safety Month events.
Through expert-led demonstrations and practical advice, attendees will learn safer methods for cattle handling including loading and unloading cattle, preventing Q fever and needle stick injuries.
