Farm safety isn’t just a talking point — it’s life and death. With agriculture still ranked as one of the deadliest industries in Australia, this episode dives into the data to uncover the truth behind the headlines.
To mark Farm Safety Week, we’re joined by:
- Kerri-Lynn Peachey, Farm Safety Research Manager and WHS Auditor at AgHealth Australia
- Ruth Thompson, AgForce Grains policy Director and Chair of Farm Safe Australia
Together, they unpack the real risks faced on farms, the behaviours and activities driving serious incidents, and the systemic challenges we need to confront to make meaningful change.
We discuss:
- How many farm deaths occurred in 2024 — and where the numbers come from
- Who is most at risk on farms (it may surprise you)
- What activities and equipment are linked to the highest fatalities
- Why agriculture remains Australia’s second most deadly workplace
- What needs to change — from mindsets to systems
- The role of data, communication, and leadership in driving safer practices
This episode is hard-hitting but hopeful — a must-listen for producers, families, educators, and anyone working in rural Australia.
