Free workshops for vineyard workers

2019 Fit4Work - Champions of Change

Register for free workshops to help reduce the risk of injuries to vineyard workers. The feature will be a new online tool called Fit4Work to help reduce the risk of musculo-skeletal injuries when performing common vineyard activities.

Developed via collaboration between the South Australian Wine Industry Association (SAWIA) and Pinnacle Workplace Consultants, with additional funding provided by Wine Grape Council SA (WGCSA) and SA Health, these Fit4Work workshops will provide practical advice on topics including:
  • Health and Fitness
  • Fatigue
  • Musculoskeletal health (i.e. back, shoulders and knees
  • Working in extreme temperatures
  • Safe digging
  • Safe tractor practices

These complimentary workshops are open to business owners, managers and staff and aim to educate vineyard workers on how to best protect themselves from injury while also helping grape-growing businesses to protect against financial risk by reducing their exposure to Return to Work premiums.

We also encourage workers from the grape and wine industry across South Australia who:
  • Work in the vineyard doing digging to tractor / harvester work, and / or
  • Training or supervising vineyard workers who are performing this type of work, to find out how to effectively implement this programme to reduce injuries to vineyard workers.

The workshop will take you through the online (mobile friendly) Fit4Work Musculoskeletal Health Programme which will show:
  • The risks around musculo-skeletal injuries for common vineyard activities (iethe use of your back, shoulder and leg muscles whilst digging); and
  • The signs and potential effects of fatigue, heat stress and / or mental health; and how these things can be managed by the individual, the work group and the employer.
