In recent years, with the number of accidents increasing in agricultural and animal farms, the Australian government has intensified its efforts in propagating farm safety education and awareness campaigns. The concerned authorities have been urging the stakeholders in the shearing industry to make sure that proper protocols are in place so that nothing tragic happens on the premises. 

Pesticides and herbicides are widely used in the agriculture and shearing industry to repel pests and control the growth of unwanted plants. But if your farm does not use and store the chemicals the right way, the welfare of sheep is at risk – of course, the workforce and the environment also suffer. 

So, today our discussion focuses on the safe use and storage of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals used in the shearing industry to shield overall health and safety at the farm.
