On health and safety, the occupational health and safety (OHS) inspector raised concerns regarding the employer's disregard for health and safety regulations, such as the use of protective gear when spraying pesticides in the vineyards. Following spraying of chemicals, workers were not compelled to wash off toxins before leaving to their homes. As a result, workers and their families were constantly exposed to health risks posed by these chemicals. In addition, contrary to the dictates of legislation, workers washed their own toxic clothes at home, further posing a risk to their immediate families. Whilst there was a shower on the farm, workers were not permitted to use it to wash off chemicals before leaving. The committee pleaded with the employer to permit workers to use the shower.
