Rochester Farm and Road
Safety Expo draws a crowd
By Jean-Marie Ntahonkiriye,
Compliance Officer Equipment Safety
ESV took part in the Rochester Farm and
Road Safety Expo in August, sharing its
safety messages with around 700 primary
school children from the greater Bendigo area.
The Expo is an annual event organised by the
Rotary Club of Rochester and designed to share
safety displays and messages relating to the farm,
the road and home.
Students who visited the ESV tent were able to
ask questions and try out its children’s safety website,
PowerSafe Buddies, which promotes electrical safety
inside the home, outdoors and at school.
They also took home showbags to share with
family members that included gifts and information
about various safety topics including look up
and live, which encourages safe work around
powerlines and it is especially relevant to farmers
and country workers.
Participating primary schools included Rochester
