Wickham Farms fined over accident | Warwick News | Local News in Warwick | Warwick Daily News

IF YOU'RE LIKE ME READ THIS- Every time I talk work place accidents or safety I think of factories and construction sites. Lately I was made aware of office accidents by fellow blogger. Now I'm awaken to workplace accidents on farms. With all the pro and anti talks about the South African farm communities of bosses and labourers, I wonder how much of health & safety is put on the agenda by these communities and the responsible government minister. I am also going to check out what safety wear is required on the farms. I also hope our legal fraternity is aware of the workplace accidents on the farms. Read more here.

Wickham Farms fined over accident | Warwick News | Local News in Warwick | Warwick Daily News: "WICKHAM Farms at Killarney has been fined $43,000 after a teenage worker was seriously injured at its vegetable-processing plant in Ivy Street in 2008.
