Our Objectives

Our initial research highlighted some common requests and areas of concern for industry participants, including:

  • Co-ordination of labour
  • Information for injury prevention
  • Harm data
  • Better PPE
  • Reduced ladder use
  • Improved recognition of safety
  • Assistance with social issues

These topics have fed into the development of our objectives for each stage of the project to establish Grow Home Safe.

Our Vision

To build system capability and establish health, safety and wellbeing leadership in the horticulture industry.
