Thread: Hunting on farm's heaith and saftey

A whole farm is not a work place, but where work is being carried out on the farm is. I would consider dangerous stock to be a hazard whereever that they are located, and should be notified as such to visitors. I would advise getting visitors to avoid working parts of the farm and areas where dangerous stock are.

Interesting that taking fees for access is likely to result in the property to be considered a workplace as a whole.... I wonder if those that do understand the significance of that..?

Also that if the money being taken from a volunteer run organisation IE has no paid staff. For example tramping club or a shooting club with no paid staff. Its not considered a work plate.

100 points to that man he's bang on, if you pay the farmer any money it becomes a workplace so your there responsibly.
If it's free your a recreational visitor but still have to be aware of common hazards and any particular hazards in the area you are in.
Obviously it depends on that farms particular h&s plan thats straight from the beef and lamb plan.
I'm sure @ Ryan Songhurst has a different plan?
