Foundations™ - Farm Health and Safety Kit

Most farmers don't have a health and safety problem. They have a getting-around-to-it problem.

You know you need a system. You know WorkSafe can show up unannounced. You know that if someone gets hurt on your farm and you can't produce the paperwork, the consequences go well beyond a fine. And yet, the folder stays empty, the forms don't get filed, and the toolbox meetings happen in your head on the way to the shed at 5am.

We get it. You're running a farm, not an office.

But here's the reality. The Health and Safety at Work Act doesn't care how busy you are. It doesn't care that calving is on, that you're short-staffed, or that H&S feels like a city problem. If something goes wrong on your property and you can't demonstrate that you had a proper system in place, you're exposed. Personally. Financially. Legally.

That's not a scare tactic. That's just the law.

What the Farm H&S Pack gives you

We've done the work so you don't have to start from scratch. The Farm H&S Pack is a complete, WorkSafe NZ compliant health and safety system built specifically for NZ dairy, sheep and beef operations. Not a generic template. Not a one-size-fits-all document pulled off the internet. A proper system, designed around how farms actually operate.

Here's what's included:

  1. A full Health and Safety Management System that meets your legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. This is the backbone of your compliance. It covers your responsibilities as a PCBU, your risk management framework, and your obligations to workers, contractors and visitors on your property.

  2. Standard Operating Procedures for the tasks your team carries out every day. The ones where people get hurt. The ones where a moment of distraction or a shortcut can change everything. Written clearly, practically and in plain English.

  3. All the forms you need. Risk register, incident reports, toolbox meeting records, worker/contractor induction forms. Everything that turns good intentions into documented proof that you're doing the right thing.

Available as a digital pack you can access immediately, or as a printed copy for the shed wall, the glove box, or the farm office.

The part that actually sets this apart

There are other H&S packs on the market. We know that. Some of them are fine.

But they're just documents. You buy them, you put them on a shelf and six months later nothing has changed because nobody helped you understand what to do with them.

This pack is backed by a full service health and safety consultancy in the heart of the Waikato. That means if you need someone to come out to your farm and walk you through the system, we can do that. If you need a qualified H&S professional to attend your toolbox meeting and make sure it's done properly, we can do that too. You're not buying a folder. You're buying access to people who do this for a living.

What it costs

Digital Pack: $1,200

This gives you the complete system. Every document, every form, every SOP. Downloadable, editable and ready to use.

Add a Printed Copy: $300

For farms that want a physical pack for the office or the shed. Same content, professionally printed.

Farm Visit: $250

One of our consultants comes to your property, walks through the system with you, and makes sure it's set up to reflect how your farm actually operates.

H&S Meeting Attendance: $250

We attend your toolbox meeting or H&S review in person. Your team hears it from a qualified professional and you've got documented proof the meeting happened.

For context, a single WorkSafe infringement notice starts at $10,000. A successful prosecution can reach $1.5 million. The pack costs less than a set of tyres.

Who this is for

Dairy farmers. Sheep and beef operators. Owner-operators who know they need to sort this out and want to do it without spending weeks reading legislation or paying a lawyer by the hour.

If you've got staff, contractors, or anyone else working on your property, you have legal obligations. This pack helps you meet them, document them, and move on with your actual job.
