Farm Safety Improves Through 'Incremental Gain', Says Birkett
Improving health and safety is about incremental gain rather than a sudden decision, says Leeston farmer and Federated Farmers health and safety spokesman David Birkett.
So, when reports surfaced that the council car of the beleaguered chairperson of Environment Canterbury (ECan) was clocked speeding 678 times since January, reaching speeds of 157kph, the Feds couldn’t resist a dig.
“If only ECan could process consents this fast!”, screamed the Feds’ official X account.
The Press reported that a council spokesperson said the chief executive had brought the breaches to the chair’s attention, but did not yet know if he was driving the car on each of those occasions, as others were able to drive it.
