Mr Goodman, who organises seasonal staff for the district's orchards and vineyards, said most workers received proper training before starting work in the horticultural sector.
He said workers recruited from Pacific island nations through the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme (RSE) also received training before entering New Zealand.
"They are all pre-departure and pre-work trained. Growers are doing the right thing and I'm sure training which needs to be given to RSE workers is also rubbing off on other staff," he said.
Mr Goodman said growers were used to having a high turnover of staff, and pre-work training worked in their favour by maximising productivity as well as mitigating the risk of injury.
The issue of seasonal workers being injured in the workplace as a result of inadequate training was not a problem in Central Otago, he said.
His comments followed a national media campaign by ACC, which highlighted the risk of injury and fatigue in sectors where short-term employment was high.
ACC injury prevention programme manager Jennifer Woodside said in a press release recently that seasonal workers employed for short times were sometimes not trained as other long-term staff were.
The lack of training by employers made seasonal workers more prone to injury, she said.
ACC recently released guidelines for employers about training and staff management.
