Hi all, hoping for some topics to study up on as I have secured an interview with a very large poultry farmer here in Australia. The role is for an OHS Co-ordinator and I am coming from a construction background so would hope that you kind folk could give me some pointers. Chris

Chris - don't forget one of the biggest risks - sun exposure and skin cancer - you will be expected to talk about avoiding working in the midday sun, provision of shade, access to drinking water, provision of hats and sunscreen. I worked for the Australian H&S regulator for several years so my advice comes from that perspective.

- Electricity and water - a bad combination and often very poor in agriculture. - Do you have Weils disease (leptospirosis) from rats? Other zoonoses. - Occupational disease - asthma, dermatitis. - Heat exhaustion working in the sheds - and that also applies when it comes to catching them and boxing them up for dispatch - come across it in poultry workers here in the UK!!!! - Ammonia when it comes to cleaning out the sheds - can get very high levels Good luck - I expect a few of us are quite envious of your location as Britain starts to get ready for dark nights and winter!!!!
