Grow Home Safe is running a webinar on Thursday 1 June to talk to industry about its new project to develop horticulture-specific foundation level health and safety training. This is also an opportunity to hear from Site Safe, which is partnering with Grow Home Safe on the development.
Grow Home Safe is partnering with Site Safe to develop foundation level health and safety training for workers, tailored to the horticulture and viticulture sectors.
Current training courses are generic and geared toward Health and Safety Reps rather than general health and safety knowledge. Employers often need to bridge the knowledge gaps and added to that, seasonal peaks of workers with differing levels of competency coming into the industry can make training a challenge.
By having an industry standard of foundational health and safety training, employers can be confident all workers have a base level of health and safety knowledge, making induction easier and ensuring a safer workforce.
We invite you to join the Site Safe and Grow Home Safe teams at 8.30am on 1 June to hear about the learnings Site Safe brings from their work with the construction industry, and how you can get involved in the development of our new training.
