How can Risk Pass protect your business from threats?

Some examples of these threats include:

- The impact the Covid pandemic had on the value chain, manufacturing and labour.
- Agriculture remains the industry with the highest rate of injuries and fatalities.
- Pest and Weed management in Queensland alone is $600m per year in agriculture.
Our Director
Ange Hutchinson
Why is workplace health and safety and biosecurity important to me? Agriculture is the leading statistic on fatalities and injuries in Australia. Unfortunately, my family including myself and my friends, are included in these statistics and I am passionate about helping change this.
80% of agriculture businesses are family owned. Family owned businesses are less likely to be resourced to work through the complexities of legislative requirements and follow that through to managing people.
The very real impact not only on people and families in agriculture is the threat of losing income or increasing expenses over a biosecurity incident. On average, in Queensland, businesses spend $24,000 (excluding labour and machinery) per year on weed and pest management. This cost is much higher if you include labour and machinery costs.
The business impacts of workplace incidents can be reputational damage, financial penalties and worst of all jail time for key people in the business. Other costs not generally considered are those of lost time due to injury or illness which reduce business efficiency. The event of a fatality or permanent disability of anyone in a family or community has a huge ongoing impact for everyone.
Raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Life Flight are important charities that I support personally for those moments that matter.
Risk Pass Director Ange Hutchinson has been working in agriculture her whole career. Whether in the paddock, finance, business advisory or in agricultural board positions.
