WAFarmers Windmills Tanks Dams and Bores

This WAFarmers checklist helps farmers and inspectors assess the safety of windmills, tanks, dams and bores across the property. It covers condition of frames, ladders and platforms, use of safety harnesses and fall arrest systems, wind risk checks before working at height, and protection of solar panels and wiring. It prompts verification of guards on motors, shafts and belts, lockout procedures before servicing pumps and motors, secure covers for bores, wells and pits, and identification and signage for confined spaces. It also encourages using skilled contractors on steep slopes for dam works. References include relevant work health and safety laws and industry guidance.
