Your safety comes first. Its our number one priority, whether you’re a permanent or casual member of our team, a contractor, a visitor, or a grower attending a field day.
Throughout 2022, Pacific Seeds held a series of PacSafe safety activities focusing on worksite and farm practical safety, mental health and process improvements.
Here’s just some of the activities this year.
