FARMSAFE

FarmSafeTM was born as an ACC and Federated Farmers initiative designed to drive down New Zealand's alarming rural injury and fatality statistics. FarmSafe, managed by a Consortium of education partners, enjoys wide industry support and operates independently from ACC. FarmSafe programmes are designed to reduce agriculture and horticulture accidents by providing quality training, assessment and services, with the vision of working towards a safe and prosperous rural community.

By attending a relevant training workshop cut flower growers are eligible to apply for an ACC Workplace Safety Discount of 10% of their "work component of the ACC levy" for horticultural employers and self-employed who can show sound health and safety practices.
