The reality

Agriculture is the most dangerous industry in Australia.

Not one of the most dangerous — the most. These are the numbers behind every Australian farm.

5 daysRoughly how often a worker is killed on an Australian farm2

171Serious on-farm injuries in 2025 — already more than all of 20242

13.7Worker deaths per 100,000 — the highest fatality rate of any Australian industry1

11%Of farm deaths involve a child under 15 — on a farm, safety is a family issue2

Figures are for Australian agriculture as a whole — the industry this sector belongs to. See sources below.

The broadacre problem

Harvest doesn't slow down for safety.

Headers, augers, chaser bins, silos and long solo shifts stack the highest-risk tasks into the busiest, most fatigued weeks of the year. By the time anyone notices a worker hasn't checked in, hours can have passed.

Vehicles & machinery

Side-by-sides, quad bikes and tractors are the leading causes of farm death — together they accounted for 32 of the 72 lives lost on Australian farms in 2024.2

Grain augers & silos

An estimated 60 people are seriously injured every year on Australian farms using grain augers — and silos add fall, engulfment, dust-explosion and toxic-gas risk in confined spaces.3

Fatigue & isolation

Long harvest hours and solo work raise the risk of vehicle and machinery incidents, and a worker out of phone range can wait a long time for help.4

AirAgri for broadacre, grains & oilseeds

Real-time safety intelligence for every worker.

From the header seat to the silo, one system that watches over every operator.

Real-time worker tracking

See where every worker is — across paddocks, yards and sheds, even out of phone range, direct-to-satellite.

Man-down & duress alarms

A fall, no-movement or duress alerts the closest people for immediate response. No button to remember.

Heat & isolation awareness

Flag heat conditions and lone or at-risk workers before exposure becomes an incident.

Fast inductions & training

Get seasonal, casual and contractor crews competent and recorded quickly, with SOPs that are easy to follow.

Hazard & incident reporting

Capture near-misses and hazards from the field, with a full, time-stamped audit trail.

ESG & board-ready data

Property- and role-based risk profiling, and defensible human-risk data for governance and ESG reporting.

The commercial upside

Safety that protects your people and your balance sheet.

The same system that brings workers home also lowers the cost of running the operation.

Fewer serious incidents

Faster response and earlier intervention reduce the events that hurt people and stop work.

Lower insurance & downtime risk

Fewer claims, less lost time, and a clear safety record at renewal.

Stronger governance narrative

Demonstrable duty of care across every site, role and contractor.

Audit-ready human-risk data

One source of truth for ESG, board and regulator reporting.
