Key Messages

• Develop a plan to identify and manage safety risks during harvest.
• Communicate early and often with your team to manage risks and prevent accidents.
• Harvest is a long haul and safety and well-being need to always take priority.

The ups and downs of harvest (and running a property every other day of the year) can be extremely taxing. Managing stress is crucial to avoiding burning out mentally and physically or creating long term health issues.

Key points 

• Standing still is not an option in today's world  
• Changes will happen whether we are ready or not
