CANEGROWERS has developed a Workplace Health & Safety Guide specifically for its members.

This document, and a range of other Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, Ergon Energy, NHVR and industry resources have been assembled in our Members area Farm Safety Policies and Procedures section

Members will need their login to be able to gain access. Not sure? Phone CANEGROWERS Mackay on 4944 2600, quote your membership number and it will be provided to you.

The Guide contains sample policies, forms, checklists and registers which are all in an editable PDF format, or you can use the Word document. Alternatively, CANEGROWERS Mackay Reception can print a copy for members.

Simply save the pages and forms relevant to your business on your computer, tablet or phone, or print them out. The guide is divided in the following sections:
