Agriculture, forestry and fisheries occupational safety guide
Field equipment must respond to the weather, machinery, terrain and seasonal changes in tasks.
Where a good specification begins
What should be clarified first?
Slippery ground, vegetation, hand tools, machinery noise, dust and chemical tasks require different solutions. Clothing layers, footwear soles and visibility must always be trialled on the actual terrain and in the relevant season.
Typical risk areas
- Changing weather and uneven terrain
- Cutting tools and machinery
- Noise, dust and biological exposure
- Pesticides and cleaning chemicals
Role and task
Which starting kit suits each role?
These are procurement starting points, not automatic PPE requirements.
| Role | Procurement starting point |
|---|---|
| General agricultural work | Weather-resistant layered clothing, terrain-appropriate footwear and mechanical hand protection. |
| Machine operator | Noise and dust protection according to measured exposure, with clothing that does not restrict movement. |
| Forestry work | Specialist clothing verified for the machinery and cutting risk, plus head, face and hearing protection. |
| Spraying and chemical handling | Hand, eye, body and respiratory protection selected from the SDS and application method. |

Building blocks for the complete solution
A system, not a one-off kit
Plan in three layers
- 1. Core role kit
- Clothing, footwear and basic PPE used on every shift, with size runs and defined replacement triggers.
- 2. Task module
- Additional protection and checks issued for less frequent but higher-risk operations.
- 3. Reordering plan
- Minimum stock, size distribution, seasonality, inspections and documented approval points.
