Our cover
Free colorbond signs are now available
to Victorian farms to help remind
workers to watch out for overhead
powerlines. The signs have been
jointly produced by ESV and WorkSafe
and aim to target farms where tall
equipment and tip trucks visit or
operate. See our story on page 6 for
details of how to order your sign.
You can now like ESV on Facebook
