In Safe Hands Toolkit for community groups now available

 

The “In Safe Hands” tool kit is an Occupational Health and Safety tool kit for conservation volunteers.  It is now available on line at the Conservation Volunteers Australia Website.

 

In Safe Hands is a Safety Management System designed specifically for community engaged in practical conservation activities. In Safe Hands will assist such groups to eliminate or minimise risks to volunteer safety and to meet duties under Work Health and Safety legislation.

 

 The content and processes have been adapted from Conservation Volunteers Australia's own system and is based on our 30 years of knowledge and experience in managing volunteers in practical conservation.  Recent enhancements and access to this toolkit and workshop opportunities for Landcare and other community Groups has been made possible through funding from the Australian Government's Caring for our Country initiative.
