Farm Safety around powerlines and poles

Across South Australia, farm machinery hits poles and wires around 20 times a year. The 2026 seeding season has brought a spike in these incidents, which are potentially deadly.

Powerlines and poles can be easy to miss when focused on the job. There are some simple steps to take to stay safe, and also avoid causing a major outage:
◾️ Check the machinery height is under three metres
◾️ Lower equipment before moving off
◾️ Always stay alert to what’s above and around the work area

Some older powerlines can hang lower than expected, and parking machinery under any line is never a good idea. GPS equipment should also not be relied upon to avoid poles.

The free Look up and Live app contains information about where powerlines run. For more information and advice, head to the Farm Safety section on the SA Power Networks website.
