In this special National Farm Safety Week episode of Good People to Know, Damien speaks with FarmSafe Ambassador Katie Saul about what it takes to build a safer culture on Australian farms.

Katie grew up in Kempsey, NSW, and now works as a Work Health, Safety and Compliance professional within the livestock and saleyards sector. Drawing on her own experience on farm and in safety leadership, Katie shares how everyday behaviours, practical conversations and visible role modelling can help farmers, families and workers reduce risk.

With the 2026 National Farm Safety Week campaign themed Set the Standard – Show ’em how it’s done, this episode explores why safety is more than a checklist, how pressure and routine can lead to shortcuts, and why leading by example matters when someone is always watching and learning.
