Farm safety survey

Growers across Sunraysia and the Goulburn Valley are being encouraged to complete a participant recruitment survey, which focuses on grower’s experiences and opinions regarding on-farm safety.

AUSVEG says grower knowledge and opinions will allow the Victorian Fresh Produce Network to create initiatives needed to make a difference to the industry.

“Your voice is the only one which can tell us about the unique safety issues that your business faces,” a spokesman said.

“Your knowledge, opinions and participation will allow us to create initiatives needed to make a difference in our industry.”

“We know your time and knowledge has been built from years of hard work and as a token of our appreciation, all participants will go into the draw to win 1 of 25 $100 gift cards.”

This survey will only take 5-10 minutes.

The survey is voluntary and responses are confidential.

Grower identities and individual responses will not be shared with WorkSafe Victoria or any regulatory agencies and will only be analysed by researchers from Monash University.

You can only take the survey once.
