Safety & WHS.

Most WHS templates are written by people who've never set foot on a farm. They don't account for quad bikes, chemical storage, working alone in remote locations, or the reality of managing a seasonal workforce in 40-degree heat. Headland builds WHS systems from the ground up for agricultural operations.

• Hazard identification and risk assessment for agricultural tasks
• Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for high-risk activities
• WHS policy development tailored to your operation
• Hazard registers (written records of known risks), inspection schedules, and maintenance records
• Chemical handling and storage documentation (Safety Data Sheets and risk assessments)
• Working alone procedures for remote and isolated work
• Machinery and equipment safety: pre-start checklists and maintenance logs
• Worker induction programs and ongoing WHS training records
• Annual safety reviews: what's working and what needs fixing

An incident on a farm doesn't pause for business hours, legal advice, or paperwork. Headland provides support through the immediate response, the investigation, and the ongoing obligations with WorkCover and regulators. We've seen how these situations unfold and we know what to do.

• Immediate response guidance when a workplace incident occurs
• Incident reporting and investigation documentation
• WorkCover notification and claims management support
• Support if a coronial inquiry or SafeWork regulator investigation is opened
• Return-to-work planning and coordination
• Post-incident WHS system review to close the gap
• Support with serious injury, illness, and fatality response
