Farm machinery deal falls foul of WorkSafe
1 Nov 2005
The WA second-hand farm machinery market is on the verge of collapse, according to dealers, after Worksafe placed 'improvement notices' on machinery on 15 dealerships across the state. The Farm Machinery Dealers Association is in the process of informing members not to trade any more equipment until the situation is resolved. The dilemma for dealers is that if they modify any equipment, as required by the improvement notices, they will lose their indemnity from the manufacturers and become de facto manufacturers. Machinery frozen in dealers' yards would have to be to scrapped, or sold for spare parts.
