Health & Safety Software for Farming

Built for the paddock, the yards and the back blocks

In short

On New Zealand farms, a vehicle is involved in most fatalities, and the work is remote, weather-driven and often done alone. A system for farming has to reach people out in the paddock on a phone, and cover vehicles, animals, chemicals and seasonal workers — without adding paperwork to an already long day.

The health & safety challenge in farming

Farm work is spread across the property, often with one person well out of signal, and the biggest risks — farm vehicles, animals, chemicals and fatigue — happen far from the office. See health & safety for farming for the detail.

Frequently asked questions

What should a farming health and safety system handle?

The realities of farm work — reporting from the paddock on a phone, vehicle checks, lone-worker arrangements, fast seasonal inductions, and animal and chemical procedures.

How should it handle farm vehicles?

With quick pre-use checks for quads, side-by-sides, bikes and tractors — the leading cause of farm deaths — and scheduled maintenance.

Should it help with workers on their own?

Yes. Lone and remote work is a common, serious farm risk, so a good system should support check-ins for people working alone.

Should it induct seasonal workers quickly?

Yes. With a changing seasonal workforce, fast inductions and a record of who's been through matter.
