Since 1840, the South Australian Wine Industry Association has been the peak body representing the winegrape growers and winemakers of South Australia. The association provides practical information and advice to members on a wide range of topics - industrial relations , OHS, environment, viticulture and wine education.
In the pursuit of providing safety initiatives for the wine industry SAWIA developed a wine safety interactive induction program (DVD). This tool, funded by Employers Mutual through its Member Benefit Program was one which they believed could provide a consistent safety message to industry employers and employees whilst also contributing to any further reduction in injury rates. The program provides general safety information for people entering the wine industry and can be used to enhance employers’ existing induction processes or as a means of refresher training for existing employees.
Since its launch in September 2011 SAWIA members’ have commented that the DVD will become an essential tool in their safety kit bag. SAWIA made some comments on the work we did with them below.
“SAWIA project managed the creation of the DVD Program, but we could not have achieved the final result without Jon Burke’s expert guidance. Jon was tenacious in ensuring that all activities on the project plan were met “on time and within budget”. The production of the DVD was extremely complex and involved working with SAWIA’s OHSW Steering Committee and shooting at multiple members’ sites throughout South Australia. Without Jon’s overall experience of writing the script through to shooting the actual film footage we could not have achieved this fantastic result.”
