SAFETY SOLUTIONS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
NGIV Members find safety solution in the palm of their hands
Safe Ag Systems are changing the way Australian agribusinesses are tackling their safety obligations. Partnering with NGIV, together we are working to help business solve the headache of safety in the palm of the hand.
Safe Ag Systems offers a platform which brings information to the fingertips of workers and the business as it’s needed. Whether it’s access to Safe Work Procedures Policies or SDS’s, inducting workers and contractors, or managing maintenance or training records, Safe Ag Systems offers this and much more as a solution specific to agriculture and horticulture.
With the ability to tailor content specific to your operations, members are able to ensure they have things in place to manage safety relevant to the work being done, and the workers doing the job. For example, workers in production need different information to those in the nursery so being able to create and access this easily can take a lot of pressure off a business. With around 300 templates available, NGIV members can choose what suits their operations, tailor documents and training to their requirements and feel comfortable in the knowledge they are doing everything reasonable to manage safety.
NGIV Member, Chislett Farms, have found great benefit from implementing the system. Employing up to 50 people including more than 30 pickers, keeping up to date records is important for them to manage the safety of their people. Susan and Brenton Chislett spoke about the benefits of having safety records all in one place.
“We’ve got everyone inducted and trained up to do certain jobs and using the app we know straight away who can do what job, who’s trained, who’s inducted, who can operate certain machinery. So, it does help,” said Brenton.
Susan added, “I was actually thinking about the safety issues that the nursery workers have that not everybody needs the same induction. We have workers on the farm, we have workers in the nursery and there's different requirements for their safety. With Safe Ag Systems you can just design your own induction policies so easily by pulling together the policies you need for that particular person.
It’s peace of mind. It’s totally peace of mind because you know you’re actually doing what you are supposed to do. You’re ticking all the boxes ... not ticking boxes but you know you’re providing the safest workplace you can for your workers.”
