Sustainability
Health and safety
The health and safety of our employees and people in the local communities in which we operate is our highest priority.
Why this matters
A safe and healthy working environment is essential for the long-term wellbeing of our people, including contractors, and the sustainability of our business. Our ultimate goal is for all our workplaces to be free from incidents and injuries.
Our approach
Our global health and safety programme, SafeAgri, enables everyone in our business to focus consistently on creating safer workplaces.
SafeAgri is focused on eliminating fatalities, preventing injuries and improving our safety culture. Through SafeAgri, we aim to bring about long-term sustainable change by giving everyone the knowledge and tools they need to create safe workplaces and to perform their work safely.
Above all, SafeAgri empowers every individual to stop their work if they do not think it is safe.
SafeAgri focuses on four elements:
- life-saving behaviours
- safety leadership development
- catastrophic hazard management frameworks
- fatal hazard protocols.
The programme is implemented across our entire network. Read more about our global business’ approach to health and safety.
Safety cards
All visitors to Viterra sites need to comply with all relevant legislation, company and site specific requirements, adhere to relevant codes of practice, maintain all applicable licences, registrations and insurance and follow employee instructions to ensure the safety of all people on site.
Drivers delivering or picking up agricultural commodities at a Viterra site require a Viterra safety card. Contractors carrying out work at a Viterra site require a sitepass registration.
If you are unsure about which card you require, please contact Viterra on 0800 105 106.
Drivers delivering or picking up agricultural commodities at a Viterra site require a valid Viterra safety card.
If you hold a sitepass card for road transport, you do not need a safety card as well.
The Viterra safety card verifies that you are up to date with the relevant safety requirements, procedures and responsibilities relating to transporting grain at Viterra sites. You will receive your card once you have completed the Viterra safety induction for grower deliveries.
The induction identifies specific hazards you may come across whilst on our sites, what controls are in place to manage the risks around any hazards, and what you need to do to stay safe.
Once you have completed the induction you will be able to print a certificate to carry on site until you receive your new card. Your safety card will be sent to your nominated mailing address within three weeks.
A Viterra safety card needs to be renewed every two years to ensure you are up to date with the latest safety information.
Visitors and passengers do not need a safety card. Passengers must remain in the vehicle in operational areas. Visitors being escorted on site or only entering for a sample tested, do not need a safety card. It is only required for those driving the vehicle that is delivering grain to the site.

If you are experiencing difficulties completing the induction, have lost your card or have any questions please contact Viterra on 0800 105 106.
Contractors carrying out work at a Viterra site require a valid sitepass registration.
SitePass registration allows you and your company to self-register and upload qualifications, licences and insurances, and provides online induction training relevant to the type of contractor that you are. It also allows Viterra to provide safety information to all contractors and ensures you are aware of our site operations and are therefore better equipped to conduct your work in a safe environment.
The sitepass instructions for contractors can help when completing the induction and training on the sitepass website.
