What he called the most comprehensive and fastest-growing farm safety programme in New Zealand is now more than two years old and has subscribers throughout the country.
An Australian venture fund has invested in the company and trans-Tasman adaptation has been completed, mainly to cope with multiple time zones and more diverse properties.
The initial concept won an innovation award at the Waimumu field days in 2015 before Orr and business partner Ross Copland decided they would build and launch the online service.
The core package costs $39/month with provision for extra sites for a small cost.
The property and its health and safety policies and hazards are mapped and described, followed by online contractor inductions and remote sign-ins and monitoring.
Once constructed a farm package can be private with invited users only or public on the Zero Harm Farm website.
The number of users per site is unlimited.
Zero Harm Farm spreading wings
Zero Harm Farm is expanding into Australia and will be launched in Britain early next year, company general manager Mark Orr says.
