Finalist Johno Mackay founded the app Job Safe Pro to help maintain safety and compliance on farms.
Transcript
00:00Yeah, G'day. So my name is Jono Mackay. I'm a beef producer from Northwest Queensland in the Julia Creek Richmond
00:06area.
00:07I also run a contract mustering and fencing operation.
00:11I grew up on a cattle station near Catherine in the Northern Territory.
00:15So yeah, probably a fourth or fifth generation farmer.
00:19Born and bred in the bush and now a tech founder. So I'm here with JobSafe Pro.
00:24And we're in the safety and well-being category. We're finalists tonight.
00:30Yeah, so a bit about JobSafe. It came about after one of my own employees had a workplace accident,
00:36which led to a health and safety order on our business. Gave me a fair fright.
00:42So safety compliance is sort of a problem that I was aware of or a risk as a business owner
00:48with employees.
00:49I worked in all the big corporate places, right down to the small, medium operations, private businesses.
00:55And there's a fair gap in what people are doing and how liable they are if something does go wrong.
01:01So JobSafe is a simple, practical and most importantly affordable solution to that issue.
01:08And that's my goal with JobSafe is to try and mitigate that and make it a bit more accessible to
01:16business owners in ag.
01:18You know, we all do the right thing. Most of us, we run a pretty safe operation, good workplace.
01:23But we just need a way of proving it when things do happen.
01:25And with the fatality rates in our industry and the serious injuries every year, it's not if it happens at
01:33when.
01:34And that's what JobSafe is all about. Safeguarding your business and your employees.
01:39So, yeah, thanks very much.
