Farms are inherently dangerous workplaces.  Farmers and farm workers are more likely to be seriously injured or die at work than other Victorians. The farming industry employs about 3% of the Victorian workforce, however it accounts for approximately one-third of workplace deaths across the State.

This web guide will help you understand the risks of working in farming and will explain what you need to do to make your workplace safer.
