Working near powerlines is a serious risk—touching them or straying into an exclusion zone around them can result in an electric shock which can be severe and even fatal. Farmers, contractors and individuals operating heavy machinery near these lines need to be aware of the serious risks they pose. 🚜 ⚠️ Since 2021 there have been three fatalities and 113 powerline strikes in Queensland’s agricultural sector—many involving mobile equipment, irrigation systems or aerial activities. Access more information on codes of practice and other resources and advice available from Workplace Health and Safety Queensland and the Electrical Safety Office on how to stay safe on farms on the WorkSafe website or contact 1300 362 128.
