06.01.2022 Safe Farming Tasmania is a nationally recognised and respected joint farm safety initiative between (DPIPWE) and WorkSafe Tasmania, that is very strongly supported by the TFGA. Its purpose is to encourage and build farm safety discussions, and provide advice, guidance and support for our farmers, farm workers, families and farming communities. DPIPWE would like to hear about your experiences with Safe Farming. The TFGA urges anyone who has interacted with Safe Farming to par...ticipate in this survey as it gives you an opportunity to tell them what you think about it. It also helps them to understand whats working well, and what could be improved. In addition, the survey will give you the chance to request additional support from the Safe Farming Consultant. While survey responses are anonymous by default, you will need to provide your contact details if you would like them to be able to get in touch. The survey closes on 26 August 2020, and should take less than 5 minutes to complete. To take the survey and support Safe Farming, please click the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Safefarming
