Feedback from interested parties - Safety

We've received a considerable amount of support from the likes of government departments, hunting clubs, biosecurity agents, wholesalers, and farmers.

The feedback is generally that's a great idea, but Health & Safety are important elements we need to consider.

After talking to Horizons, a biosecurity agent that manages independent contractors, we have a better idea of the processes involved with person entering private land.

Apart from proving appropriate licensing, the individual must be aware of potential hazards and have a basic understanding of Health and Safety protocols.

The process of the agent above before entering the private property is to have prepared a risk management plan in place that identifies all possible hazards. The contractor then asks the farmer to sign these forms and confirm which hazards are a factor. Both parties keep a copy of the form should any liability argument arise if something go wrong.

I am also contacting health and safety to check this procedure and ask the general procedures of PMANZ.
