Share The Road Safely

September 10, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Farmers, contract harvesters, transport companies and agricultural machinery retailers are invited to attend the Be Road Ready for Harvest Virtual Field Day via Zoom on Wednesday, 15th September from 8am (and not Tuesday as reported in last week’s paper).

The event will be held online for the second year in a row due to the current COVID-19 restrictions.

“It’s looking like we are going to have a good harvest again this year, and it is important to refresh people’s knowledge about the current rules and regulations for legally and safely moving harvest equipment and trucks on the road,” said Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils’ Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer, Melanie Suitor.

“Safety and compliance during harvest is very important. Opera-tors need to be aware of their responsibilities and ensure that all warning devices and travel requirements are adhered to.”

Topics to be discussed include access, permits, fire safety, fatigue, load restraint and more.

Registration is free but spaces are limited. Register online at www.eventbrite.com and search ‘Be Road Ready for Harvest Virtual Field Day’. All attendees will receive an information pack.

If you have a specific question that you would like answered, contact Melanie on 6861 2364 or Melanie.Suitor@parkes.nsw.gov.au so that it can be covered in the presentations.
