Agricultural operations present unique occupational hazards, from heavy machinery and livestock handling to chemical exposure. Managing these risks effectively requires a structured, compliant, and proactive safety management system. In this course, you will learn how to design, implement, and oversee robust occupational health and safety (OHS) systems specifically tailored for agribusinesses and farming enterprises. You will transition from understanding basic safety rules to actively mitigating operational hazards and fostering a modern safety culture.
