Policies

Weed and Seed

Our Weed and Seed policy includes thorough inspection and cleaning of machinery, tools and equipment.

When we are moving between work locations, we and our host have a responsibility to minimise the environmental risks of movements on biosecurity. Our Weed and Seed awareness is a key tool to control biosecurity risks. Biosecurity hazards include soil borne pathogens, weeds or microscopic seeds. 

Some techniques used are Wash downs, cleaning and waste disposal of muddy/contaminated materials. Our experience within medium to high risk work environments, ensure real-world care and effort put into prevention of spreading noxious weeds.
