This document provides an overview of session 2 of the BSBRSK501 Manage Risk course. It includes discussions of property risk assessment mapping, the Dollarain case study, and completing risk assessment tables for a case study farm. Students practiced identifying stakeholders, enterprises, hazards, and mapping risks for the Dollarain Farms case study. The session summarized how to conduct an initial farm risk assessment and covered preparing a risk management scoping document for assessment 2. Students were asked to review risk management plans for their own business and complete knowledge-based questions for assessment 1 prior to the next session.
2. Course details
• Farms are exciting places for children to live, grow, explore
and visit.
• However they can also provide unique environments and
injury hazards.
• Farms typically combine the family home and an industrial
workplace, which means children are exposed to a wide
range of hazards that aren’t present in urban home
environment. https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/

5. OSH laws and farming
BSBRSK501 MANAGE RISK 5

Do the OSH laws apply to all types of farmers?
Farmers are often under the impression that OSH laws do not apply to them. This is often based on a number of
misconceptions, such as:
I am exempt as a primary producer
I only employ family
I only have seasonal workers
I don’t run my farm as a registered company
I only pay in cash
I offer food and accommodation in place of payment for work
I thought backpackers weren’t classed as workers
In Western Australia, occupational safety and health laws apply to all workplaces, including agricultural
properties. Under these laws, self-employed people, employers and employees, or a person or people in control of a
workplace, have responsibilities to make the workplace safe. All employers, including self-employed people, have a
legal responsibility called a ‘duty of care’ to provide a safe working environment. All employed workers - full time, part
time, casual or contract - have the right to a safe and healthy working environment and to be protected from any
hazard that may exist at the workplace.
