In this episode of Let’s Chat HR & Safety, Danielle McNamee, Managing Director of ProcessWorx, is joined by Silvana McGuinness, Senior WHS Advisor, to share what their safety team is seeing firsthand across Western Australian farms.

This isn’t theory or legislation talk, it’s real observations from recent site visits across the state.

They unpack common safety gaps including:

  • Chemical and fuel storage risks.
  • Old sheds, decommissioned buildings and asbestos exposure.
  • Workshop guarding and lifting equipment issues.
  • PPE, noise management and health monitoring gaps.
  • Emergency plans that exist on paper but not in practice.

The conversation focuses on practical, achievable steps farmers can implement immediately to reduce risk, protect their people, and stay compliant.

A must-listen for farm owners and managers who want safety systems that work in the real world.
