About the Program

The Making our Farm Safer project is funded by Smarter, Safer Farms, a $20 million Victorian Government commitment to improve safety and skills outcomes for Victorian farmers. The Victorian Government is backing a stronger, more innovative and sustainable agriculture industry with a 10-year strategy for Agriculture.

Our aim is to deliver free farm safety tools and services that are accessible, practical and useful to all Victorian farmers to support farmer and workers’ safety, wellbeing and mental health.

Telehandler Safety Handbook

A Telehandler or Telescopic Handler is a versatile machine for agricultural work, but its advantages can pose serious risks if not used correctly. This Telehandler Safety Handbook has been developed by the Victorian Farmers Federation, in conjunction with the Telescopic Handler Association (TSHA), to increase awareness for farmers of the machinery’s operation and prevent accidents.
