Welcome to our Farm Safety section. This section is brought to you by FarmSafe and FMG.
In New Zealand we have a 'she'll be right' attitude which unfortunately includes rural health & safety.
Here we aim to raise awareness of farm safety and provide information about how you can reduce the risks to youself and your staff on the farm and around the home as well.
This page is very much community driven so if there’s anything you’d like to see included please get in touch with us: contribute@ruraltrader.co.nz.
