Powerlines are everywhere.
And they’re one of the most common hazards on farms.
This free, 7-minute Toolbox Talk video is essential for anyone operating machinery near overhead powerlines on Australian farms.
It delivers practical, video-based safety training designed to help teams understand and apply critical safety steps in the field.
It covers the critical steps to take if your machine contacts a powerline, including the often-overlooked but life-threatening scenario: what to do if the machine catches fire.
You’ll learn:
- How to avoid powerline strikes in the first place
- What to do immediately after a strike
- How to safely escape a burning, electrified machine
- A real-life case study that brings the risks—and the right response—into sharp focus
