woman who spent 40 minutes trapped in a potato processing machine, and later had to undergo 30 hours of reconstructive surgery, will be a special guest speaker at the Queensland Rural, Regional and Remote Women&#8217;s Network&#8217;s latest webinar on Friday (May 27).<\/p>\n<p>Tiffany Ward, who is now a workplace health and safety advocate, will discuss how to manage the risks people face every day, at home and at work.<\/p>\n<p>Her story &#8211; she almost lost her right arm in the horrifying accident &#8211; underlines why understanding these risks is vital.<\/p>\n<p>She will be joined on the webinar by QRRRWN Board member Fiona O\u2019Sullivan who is the head of the Agriculture Unit for Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Until something dreadful occurs in your workplace or you witness a near miss, most of us just think workplace health and safety is a tick and flick process,&#8221; Tiffany said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately some of us understand all too clearly the personal costs of not paying attention to these routines.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bronwyn Reid, another QRRRWN Board member and the facilitator of the webinar series, said it was not enough just to identify risks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Implementing and developing safety checks as part of everyday routine in the workplace is critical to ensuring businesses are fulfilling their legal responsibilities,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many small businesses and employers are simply not well-informed about their responsibilities under the Workplace Health and Safety Act.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;QRRRWN is concerned that this legal, ethical and financial issue for rural businesses (should be) better understood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tiffany\u2019s session will cover off the basics of WHS responsibilities and what an employer\u2019s duty of care means in relation to the safety of staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The webinar is free for QRRRWN members but non-members can take part for $25.<\/p>\n<p>Registrations can be made on the <a href=\"http:\/\/qrrrwnonline.wildapricot.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>QRRRWN website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure
