Farmsafe WA Alliance - Founded by Farmers for Farmers

An independent not-for-profit, non-government organisation encouraging and leading the way to safer farming

Current - Promotion and Distribution of Resources

Promotion and Distribution of Resources in the Midwest Region of WA

Farmers, We need your help!

This campaign targets farmers and health professionals and focuses on promoting, distributing and evaluating three safety resources which were produced by the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety (AgHealth). The resources in question are:

· Farm Health and Safety Toolkit for Rural General Practices

· The Great Idea Bank

· Preventing Falls in Older Farmers

Awareness of these resources in Western Australia is deemed to be low and their appropriateness and usefulness for WA farmers and Health providers is currently being determined.

Recommendations and feedback provided through our questionnaires will allow Farmsafe WA to make the necessary adaptations to produce new material based on these current resources. Further investigations on this campaign will be carried out in the Great Southern region during 2013.

Appreciation and acknowledgement goes to all our collaborative partners, reference group members, farmers, community members and Health Professionals who have assisted us to date with our evaluations.

If the outcomes of this project are successful in the Midwest region, Farmsafe WA Alliance will be able to further implement it in the Great Southern region.

If you are a Farmer or Health Professional in the Midwest region and would like to help us with this project, please contact Farmsafe WA Alliance or see the links below.

You are able to complete the questionnaires and review the majority of the resources online.
