THE Australian Workers Union (AWU) is urging the NSW government to enforce a 10-kilometre shooting exclusion zone around the homes of employees who live and work in the state's national parks.
Recreational hunters will be allowed to hunt in national parks with bows and arrows and guns under a plan agreed to by the state government last year.
A survey of 365 national park workers reveals they have "deep fears" about the policy, AWU state secretary Russ Collison said.
He said nearly 100 employees live in national parks, prompting calls for an expanded exclusion zone.
"Unfortunately bullets don't stop at 1.5 kilometres, and can easily travel three to five kilometres. We can't have a situation where families are dodging bullets in their backyard," Mr Collison said.
The AWU survey also found 99 per cent of those polled want supervision and competency testing of shooters.
