| Abstract | It is a sad fact that rural industry contributes more than its fair share of workplace accidents and
fatalities. Statistically, farming is one of the most hazardous industries in Australia. RIRDC has been
actively supporting several organisations to introduce safety initiatives into rural industries.
This project has focussed on the development of the materials necessary to introduce a safety
management system into the sugar cane industry. The objective is to promote a risk management
culture in rural industries.
This project was funded by two R&D Corporations — RIRDC and SRDC. These Corporations are
funded principally by the Federal Government.
This report, a new addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 600 research publications, forms part
of our (Human Capital, Communication and Information Systems) R&D program, which aims to
enhance human capital and facilitate innovation in rural industries and communities. |
