Responsible for formulation and distribution of broadacre products for Western Australia, and supporting South Australia and Victoria, the plant has been operating at full capacity in recent times due to favourable weather in WA. Stephen Poole, Kwinana Production Manager, said that the months between April and August are the busiest times of the year. "At this time, the plant operates for up to ten hours a day, six days a week. We employ casual staff to cover our busiest periods."
Outside of peak season, the team participates in various training programs to increase their skill and adaptability, including the handling and storage of dangerous goods, first aid and forklift driving. The team also constantly reviews internal procedures and policies and effective operating practices. "With such a small crew, all our staff must be able to fill various roles. The fact we are so interchangeable is the key to our success as a team," said Stephen.
