Safety inductions and site safety

South Australia and Western Victoria

 

Safety is our number one priority.

All visitors to Bunge sites must comply with all legislative, company and site-specific requirements, adhere to relevant codes of practice, maintain all applicable licences, registrations and insurances and follow employee instructions to ensure the safety of all people on site.

Unsafe practices or conditions are not accepted - if you become aware of an unsafe practice or condition while on our site, please report it to a Bunge employee.

Site safety rules

Our safety rules are designed to minimise risks and ensure all workers and visitors return home safe every day.

  1. A valid safety induction is required for farmers and carriers delivering or outturning grain, and contractors undertaking work at a Bunge site. Find out which induction you need. Anyone without a safety induction must remain in the vehicle cabin in operational areas.

  2. All drivers are required to comply with our site traffic management plans, directions given by employees, speed restrictions and signage at all times.

  3. High-visibility clothing and enclosed footwear must be worn everywhere outside of vehicles, amenities and offices.

  4. Hard hats must be worn in all areas except for marshalling yards, classification areas, bunkers, offices, and amenities.

  5. Eyewear must be worn by anyone when outside their vehicle at loading/discharge areas, when you are most exposed to dusty environments and at risk of an eye injury.

  6. If you are on our site at night, we strongly encourage you to wear high-visibility clothing with reflective strips.

  7. Children (under 15 years) need to be under their guardian’s supervision at all times.

  8. Climbing on vehicles should be minimised and only undertaken where the operator has a planned safe method to undertake the task, can maintain three points of contact and the ladder is fit for purpose.

  9. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure all vehicles comply with chain of responsibility legislation.

  10. Road rules apply to Bunge sites, this includes laws regarding:
  • Drugs and alcohol: Anyone operating vehicles or equipment on our sites must be fit for work and comply with the relevant drug and alcohol legislation. If Bunge believes someone is unfit for work, employees are authorised to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of those on site.
  • Mobile phones: Drivers are not permitted to operate their vehicle while using a handheld phone and can only use their phone via a hands-free system. If a handheld mobile needs to be used the vehicle must be stationary and parked.
 

Heavy vehicle safety

Truck incidents can cause serious injury and damage. As vehicle operators the safety and security of your vehicle is your responsibility at all times.

Uncontrolled vehicle movements

Incidents where vehicles move without anyone in control are a major safety risk. Please ensure you:

  • Apply park brakes prior to leaving the vehicle cabin
  • Use park brake alarms, where fitted
  • If you require disengagement of brakes for the purposes of discharging or receiving your load (eg tip over axle vehicles) you will be required to implement a safe system of work to the satisfaction of a Bunge employee. Please contact your local regional office to discuss this prior to attending site.

After reviewing any incident of an uncontrolled vehicle movement, Bunge may take appropriate and necessary action. This may include requiring evidence of certification, road-worthiness and denying access to sites if a vehicle is deemed to be unsafe.

Vehicle operators must also be aware of mass management and vehicle hygiene requirements

Safety card

Who needs a safety card?

Anyone transporting grain to or from a Bunge site (farmers or those delivering on behalf of a farmer) will need to hold a valid safety card by completing the safety induction for grower deliveries.

The induction verifies that you are up to date with the relevant safety requirements, procedures and responsibilities relating to transporting grain at our sites.

If you are also contracted by Bunge to deliver or outturn grain and therefore hold a valid Rapid registration, you do not need a safety card as well. Learn more.

Visitors and passengers do not need a safety card.

 

How do I obtain a safety card and when do I need it?

To obtain a safety card, complete the safety induction for grower deliveries, which has updated safety information that you should be aware of before attending our sites.

From August 2025, physical safety cards are no longer being distributed. You can access a digital version of your safety card on the safety card website or the Bunge app.

Any time you are transporting grain at our sites, we can ask to see either a digital version of your safety card, or photographic identification so we can verify you have completed the induction.

This is the only safety card recognised by Bunge.

 

If I have a Rapid registration, do I need a safety card?

If you hold a valid Rapid registration, you do not need a safety card as well.

 

How long is a safety card valid for?

To ensure you are up to date with the latest safety information, safety cards need to be renewed every two years.

 

Do visitors and passengers need a safety card?

No, visitors and passengers do not need a safety card. Passengers must remain in the vehicle in operational areas. Visitors being escorted on site or only entering the classification office, for example to have a sample tested, do not need a safety card. It is only required for those driving the vehicle that is delivering grain to the site.

Why do I need to register with Rapid?

Rapid allows you and your company to self-register and upload qualifications, licences and insurances, and complete online induction training relevant to the type of contractor that you are and the work you will be performing at our sites.

It also allows us to provide safety information to all contractors and ensures you are aware of our site operations and equipped to conduct your work in a safe environment.

 

Does Bunge accept any other safety registrations?
