Policies are the farm's rules and expectations. They are a useful tool for discussing expectations and the do's and don’ts of what is acceptable at work.

Tips
- Policies are the overarching rules of your farm. Consider your farming operation and identify the important rules for your day-to-day activities.
- Edit the policies to suit your business. Start with a Work Health and Safety Policy and then add policies which you identify as important to your operation.
- Remember – more is not always better!
