13.01.2022 The face behind the name. Renee is a born and bred local of Kyabram. She has worked in the agricultural industry for several years, most recently as a field and environmental officer in Northern Victoria. While in this role and having a first hand understanding of farming life, Renee could see a noticeable gap in the industry in and around Agricultural safety and compliance. As the Agricultural industry supports many family and friends in our community, their safety and the l...ongevity of the industry is something Renee is passionate about. Ag Safe Compliance offers advice, recommendations and documentation in a friendly and safe environment that supports businesses to meet their Occupational Health and Safety responsibilities before the Authoritative bodies arrive.
