The sugar industry is a large contributor to the agriculture industry and economy in Queensland. Managing risks, including the requirement to do so under the various workplace health and safety (WHS) legislation, is a core part of business practice. Effective WHS practices do a number of things including making workplaces safe and thereby improving the health and wellbeing for employers, employees, and, as a function of the sugar cane location relative to the home, family members.

There is a WHS module (Module 7) which is not required for accreditation nor a core module.
