ANZCO Foods CEO Update - July 2024
Posted on Monday, 15 July 2024 under CEO Updates
From 2019 to 2023, there were 22 quad bike-related fatalities in New Zealand. That’s a sobering statistic, so we’re supporting Safer Farms’ campaign Safer Rides rolling out this week.
Farm safety is paramount, and we encourage farmers to install crush protection devices (CPDs) on their quad bikes to reduce harm on farm, and ANZCO Foods is working with Safer Farms and other industry partners to ensure cost isn't a barrier to safety.
Safer Rides comprises an incentive programme offering farmers a redeemable voucher worth $400 for CPD installation, covering more than 60% of the cost in some cases.
A CPD provides space underneath an upturned quad bike by spreading the weight of the bike and either creating space for survival or allowing the bike to roll off the occupant. Please read the update below for more details and how to take advantage of this offer.
