Lone worker safety

Safety for farmers and farm workers.

Farming is the original lone work. One person, heavy machinery, large animals, and distances measured in paddocks rather than metres, often with nobody expecting them back for hours.

The risk

What farmers and farm workers are actually up against

Machinery and livestock incidents, quad and vehicle rollovers, and falls, across properties large enough that an injured worker may not be found for a long time.

  • A quad or tractor rollover in a paddock out of sight of the house
  • A livestock incident in yards with nobody else working that day
  • A day's work in a part of the property where nobody knows exactly where to look

Roughly one FY26 alarm in six was raised automatically rather than by a person, which is the category that matters most for machinery and rollover incidents. See the data ›

Questions

Common questions

What is the best safety device for a farmer working alone?
One that raises an alarm without being pressed, because rollovers and livestock incidents frequently incapacitate. Combine automatic detection with a check-in schedule so somebody notices even when the device cannot help, and be realistic about coverage across the property.
Most of our property has no mobile signal. What then?
Then a cellular device is not a control there, and we will not pretend otherwise. Use a satellite messenger or personal locator beacon for the areas without coverage, keep a written overdue procedure with a short grace period, and tell someone the paddock before you leave.
