The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) has produced stickers to promote health and safety across the industry.
The stickers have one message – ‘I am vital to UK Agriculture – Stay Safe’ – and member contractors and the wider farming community are been asked to place these in prominent places.
It aims to prompt operators to think about safety and remind farmers and contractors that they are all vital.
Jill Hewitt, NAAC CEO said: “It is all too easy when under pressure to think that health and safety is all about paperwork and hassle. However, the number of fatal and serious incidents in farming continues to remain stubbornly high and the NAAC wants to visually remind everyone to protect themselves and colleagues.
“We urge everyone to use these stickers as a heads up to take that extra time to make sure a job is done safely and get everyone home to their families at the end of the day.”
Stickers can be obtained by emailing admin@naac.co.uk (postage fees apply) and the NAAC will promote the campaign through social media and the Cereals Event.
