About PASS

Farmers, contractors and service providers are highly skilled professionals and a scarce commodity. We can’t afford to lose them to foreseeable or preventable accidents.

Between the year 2000 and 2008 there have been seven fatalities on farms in Northern Tasmania. This is SEVEN TOO MANY and we must not let this continue.

PASS Inc. was formed in February 2007 as a result of a double fatality on a Tasmanian farm. Two vibrant, dedicated 21 year olds died, when the irrigation pipe they were handling came in contact with overhead powerlines. Fatalities just keep happening. Nothing ever seems to change. PASS Inc formed, as we want to make a difference.

The Management committee with their strong rural background, all have a clear understanding of the devastation caused by these fatalities. We aim for zero fatalities in rural workplaces.
