PPSA Farm Safety Project
Primary Producers South Australia is delivering the ‘National Farm Safety Education Fund’ in SA, focusing on farm safety for kids. Guided and supported by PPSA’s membership of Farmsafe Australia, this project is developing sector specific resources to educate kids who live on or visit a farm about safety.
These resources are aimed at reducing the barriers for teachers and parents to deliver farm safety lessons in a fun and interactive way including seven videos. In addition to the videos, this project will deliver workshops, teacher professional development, and on-farm excursions. Importantly, this project aims to deliver key thought-provoking messages from the voice of kids, equipping a new generation of engaged and aware children to understand the inherent risks associated with food and fibre production and the ways in which those risks can be mitigated.
The content of these videos and classroom activities has been developed with guidance from FarmSafe Australia, SafeWork SA and KidSafe SA. The resources provide up-to-date information to support the delivery of curriculum units on farm safety in schools.
The Farm Safety For Kids project is delivered by Food and Fibre Education SA (the education arm of AgCommunicators) and funded by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry through the National Farm Safety Education Fund: Improving Farm Safety Practices project.
