New staff? That's one of the first things WorkSafe may ask about.
Food manufacturing businesses often rely on seasonal workers, temporary staff and new employees to keep production moving.
One question WorkSafe may ask during a proactive visit is:
"𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡?"
A strong induction should cover:
✔ Workplace hazards
✔ Safe use of machinery
✔ Emergency procedures
✔ Incident reporting
✔ Who to speak to about health and safety
Good inductions aren't just about compliance—they help people go home safely every day.

Occupational health deserves just as much attention as workplace injuries.
Food manufacturing workers can be exposed to:
• Flour dust
• Cleaning chemicals
• Noise
• Cold environments
• Repetitive tasks
These risks don't always cause immediate injuries, but they can affect workers over time.
Managing occupational health is becoming an increasingly important part of workplace safety.

No two days in forestry are the same - especially in winter.
Cold weather, wet ground and reduced visibility can increase the risks associated with forestry work. Regular communication, equipment checks and taking conditions into account before starting the job all play an important part in keeping crews safe.
A little extra planning can go a long way during the colder months.

It's not always the big hazards that cause injuries.
🔸Wet floors.
🔸Food scraps.
🔸Cleaning chemicals.
🔸Busy production lines.
These everyday hazards are responsible for many injuries across food manufacturing workplaces.
Simple controls and regular housekeeping go a long way towards keeping your team safe.

Winter conditions can change a worksite overnight.
Rain, frost and reduced daylight all create additional hazards that shouldn't be overlooked. A quick site walk before work begins can help identify slippery surfaces, poor visibility and other seasonal risks.
Keeping your team informed and adapting your work plan to suit the conditions helps everyone get home safely.

Machine safety remains one of the biggest risks in food manufacturing.
Mixers, conveyors, slicers, packaging equipment and processing machinery all make production possible—but they also need the right controls.
WorkSafe continues to place a strong focus on machinery safety, including guarding, maintenance and safe operating procedures.
Taking shortcuts around machinery is never worth the risk.
