No. FarmersAid is more than just an app.

While the app provides real-time, step-by-step guidance, FarmersAid is a wider initiative from RABI that also includes training resources and Critical Care Kits, designed to strengthen emergency preparedness across the farming community.

Together, these elements aim to improve confidence, understanding and preparedness when serious on-farm accidents occur.

FarmersAid has been developed specifically for serious on-farm accidents, where injuries are complex and decisions need to be made quickly.

The guidance focuses on the ten most common serious on-farm accident scenarios and provides clear, structured, step-by-step guidance to follow in the first critical moments. It is designed for use in real farming environments, where people may be under pressure and professional help may take time to arrive.

FarmersAid supports informed action while emergency services are on the way, helping people know what to do next until help arrives.

No. FarmersAid is not an alternative to calling 999.

In a serious on-farm accident, calling the emergency services should always be the first step. FarmersAid is designed to support people while emergency services are on the way, providing guidance during the minutes it can take for help to arrive — particularly in rural locations where access and distance can cause delays.

FarmersAid is designed for serious on-farm accidents, not minor injuries.

The app provides guidance for the ten most common serious on-farm accident scenarios, including:

• severe bleeding
• crush injuries
• machinery-related incidents
• livestock injuries
• falls from height
• burns
• electric shock
• drowning

It is intended for use by anyone on site — family members, colleagues, workers or bystanders — who may need to respond before professional help arrives.

Yes. Once installed, FarmersAid works fully offline.

All critical care guidance and imagery are available from first download, with no dependency on mobile signal or data once the app is installed.

If Emergency SOS and emergency contacts have been correctly set up on your phone, your device may automatically alert your emergency contacts when Emergency SOS is activated. FarmersAid includes guidance on how to set up these features within the app and on the FarmersAid website.

By entering your details, you will be entered into a prize draw to win a Critical Care Kit.

You will also receive downloadable resources and practical guidance designed to help farming people feel more prepared for emergency situations on farm.

You can find preparedness guidance within the app under the “Set Up” section, including information on:

• phone Emergency SOS settings
• Medical ID and emergency contacts
• farm signage and access guidance
• defibrillator awareness
• practical emergency preparedness for farming environments

The same information is also available on the FarmersAid website here.
