Home  :  Farm Safety Manual

The Farm Safety Manual is a step by step approach to build a safety system for dairy farms and keep this system maintained. Work through the sections at your own pace, building your farm safety system as you go.

While building and piloting the Farm Safety Manual with dairy farmers, the advice was for a Farm Safety Manual hard copy folder, online access to key documents and templates, as well as support to build and improve farm safety systems via opportunities to discuss farm safety with experts.

A folder is available by attending a Farm Safety Manual workshop – register your interest here

Workshops will be delivered via your Dairy Australia Regional Team. The key templates and documents are available to download in the 15 topics below, as and when you need them.

Also available: the Farm Safety Starter Kit is a good starting point before accessing the Farm Safety Manual topics below.
