WorkSafe is investigating the tragic death of a woman who died in an all-terrain vehicle rollover on her farm near Daylesford, northwest of Melbourne at approximately 7:00 pm on Saturday 23 November.
Emergency services attended the property but sadly, she could not be revived. No one else was injured in the incident.
This is the third death involving an ATV on a rural Victorian property in two months; in October, a man and a child were killed when a buggy carrying four people rolled over at a private property in Tubbut, in Victoria's far east near the New South Wales border.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the risks associated with operating all-terrain vehicles, and the importance of stringent safety measures on farms. Here is a link to WorkSafe handbook for identifying, reducing and managing risks related to using quad bikes on farms:
