Workplace health programmes for Agriculture & Horticulture

Industry programmes

Workplace health for Agriculture & Horticulture

Health monitoring for farms, packhouses and rural operations, including skin checks, hearing tests and spirometry across seasonal workforces.

Understanding the risks in agriculture & horticulture

Agricultural and horticultural workers carry some of New Zealand's highest occupational health exposure: all-day UV, machinery noise, grain and organic dusts, and the realities of rural healthcare access.

Healthbox comes to the farm, orchard or packhouse, bringing screening to people who would otherwise have to lose half a day travelling to it.

Client stories

What agriculture & horticulture teams tell us

Christchurch
Our crews work outdoors year-round, so the onsite skin checks were an easy yes. Two early melanomas caught across the team. That alone made the whole programme worth it.

Agriculture & Horticulture: your questions answered

Will Healthbox travel to rural properties?
Yes. Healthbox delivers onsite programmes at farms, orchards, packhouses and rural depots, typically scheduled as regional visit days that can cover multiple sites or neighbouring operations in one trip.
Why are skin checks critical for agricultural workers?
Farm and orchard workers accumulate extreme UV doses over a career, and New Zealand has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world. Rural workers are also less likely to access screening through their GP, which is exactly why bringing 20-minute dermoscopy checks to the workplace saves lives.
