ONCE part of a network of similar organisations in other States, SafeFarms WA is now the only surviving not-for-profit group dedicated to helping farmers make their properties safer and celebrated its 25th anniversary recently.
Started in 1994 by farmers as part of a national Farmsafe network, SafeFarms WA now works with Safe Work Australia, WorkSafe, industry trainers and TAFE colleges to provide farmers with a range of employee induction and safety compliance tools and check lists.
More than 60 members, former chairmen, board members and staff, representatives from associated organisations and public servants gathered at a South Perth restaurant to celebrate the anniversary.
