In this episode, Kevin Jones explores a new tool that’s quietly transforming how we understand safety in Australian agriculture—the Rural Media Farm Injury Dashboard. Drawing from a SafetyAtWorkBlog article, Kevin examines how media-sourced data is helping surface injury and fatality patterns across farms nationwide, while also revealing the cultural blind spots that keep safety on the margins.

From quad bikes to tractors, the numbers are sobering. But the real insight lies in what the Dashboard doesn’t show—like suicides and psychological harm—and what that absence says about stigma, reporting gaps, and the limits of current safety narratives. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what safety really means in rural work.
