Hi folks, just a quick non safety related post.
I wanted to give a shout out to Lacee's Kitchen in Portland, give her a call for your next function catering, delicious and very reasonably priced.
Do yourself a favour, try the relish too!
Our selection: sausage rolls, mixed mini quiches and some cheese and spinach rolls along with some mixed slices for morning and afternoon tea.😋👌
All of our courses are fully catered every day and we spread the love around local small businesses to help support them.
Thanks again Lacee, we'll be back.

There's a big push on Agricultural Safety at the moment and there's lots of helpful resources on the WorkSafe page.
More people die on farms than any other workplace.
If you work on a farm or know people who do, share this link with them.

Some of it is shocking.
Some of it is graphic.
ALL of it is designed to help raise awareness of the hazards on farms and hopefully reduce that death toll.
Stay safe everyone.
Call if you need a hand to help get your head around it all.

More people die on farms than in other workplaces - let's change that.

"....the first company convicted under Victoria's workplace manslaughter laws...."

A stonemasonry business has become the first company convicted under Victoria's workplace manslaughter laws after causing the death of a worker who was fatally crushed at a Somerton factory.

29/02/2024

Sad news
There have been 5 workplace fatalities so far this year in Victoria.
This time last year there had been 12.
5 is still too many.

Stay Safe.

A traffic controller has died after being crushed between two vehicles in Dandenong North on Tuesday.
