All Sites

All Sites

  • CSD has the expectation that, at all times you conduct your activities in accordance with current WHS legislation and the site requirements and instructions.
  • Access to areas is restricted and as such no driver or passenger of the visiting vehicle is permitted to leave the dispatch area and enter the storage or production sheds. Passengers should remain inside vehicles at all times.
  • Chemicals and other goods, which can contaminate the seed, must be separated from the seed. Re-stacking and re-shuffling of the load on the vehicle must be avoided. CSD employees will not re-stack dangerous goods due to EPA regulations holding the forklift driver responsible for unsecured loads etc.
  • When tarping loaded trucks, be aware that drivers are not permitted more than 1.8 metres off the ground without fall arresting equipment therefore climbing on top of the loaded vehicle is strictly forbidden.
