The shearing industry is one of the most physically demanding occupations, and as an industry, wool producers and wool harvesters need to do as much as is possible to reduce the risk of injuries and accidents occurring in shearing sheds as well as provide the best working conditions possible.
Not only will workplaces be safer, this will go a long way to increasing industry workforce entry, retention and career longevity, it will also improve industry productivity and profitability.
Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and WA Shearing Industry Association (WASIA) have developed a new program to do just this, to improve safety in shearing sheds. Safe Sheds, The Shearing Shed Safety Program is a new best practice guide and assessment resource which has been developed with input from right across the industry.
Industry has also partnered with SafetyCulture to provide all the shed safety checklists and best practice guidelines in iAuditor, for free. Thanks to WASIA, AWI and SafetyCulture, you can assess your current shearing shed working conditions, environment and equipment; and mitigate the risk of accidents and injury.
