New FarmersAid app will provide essential advice for dealing with on-farm accidents

A new smartphone app called FarmersAid will soon be available to provide clear, step-by-step guidance for the 10 most common serious on-farm accident scenarios - from crush injuries to severe bleeding and falls from height. FarmersAid is due to be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store from June 2026.

The crucial 10-minute window

FarmersAid will focus on the first crucial minutes after an incident, often referred to as the ‘Platinum Ten’, when early action can make a significant difference.

In high-stress situations, it can be difficult to think clearly. FarmersAid is designed to support calm, informed action while emergency services are on their way, helping those already on site respond with greater confidence.

Developed by relevant experts

The app has been developed by RABI together with Professor Stuart Maitland-Knibb, a helicopter emergency medicine and pre-hospital critical care consultant, and Professor Cathy Jackson, a leading expert in remote and rural healthcare. It reflects RABI’s long-standing commitment to practical, professional support for farming people.
