Whole Stalk Plant Cutter Inspections

HCPSL reminds growers who are planning to use a whole stalk plant cutter at one of HCPSL’s Approved Seed plots to ensure they get their cutter and planting trailers inspected well in advance.

Inspections primarily look at whether the plant cutter and trailers have all the necessary guards and safety features in place. Plot officers will also be inspecting and sterilising all whole stalk plant cutters before working in the Approved Seed plots.

To make it easier to comply with the necessary requirements further information, including a pre-inspection checklist, is available on the HCPSL website at: https://hcpsl.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Whole-Stalk-Plant-Cutter-Safe-Work-Instructions.pdf.
