When a work vehicle is involved in a crash, the impact goes beyond the incident - affecting reputation, trust and staff morale.

Every vehicle represents your business.

Be a curious site manager today, and ask contractors where and when they think the next accident might happen.

[Scottish Occupational Road Safety Alliance @occroadsafety]

When an employee drives for work, their safety is part of the job.
Employers have a duty of care to manage road risk like any other workplace risk - through policies, training and safe vehicles.
Driving for work shouldn’t be overlooked.

It’s hard to believe that one year ago today, I was about to learn “the hard way”.

[The NAAC @TheNAAC]

Farmers & Contractors are under constant pressure from a declining work force & weather, to keep the UK fed. After busy periods like harvest, driver fatigue may contribute to serious or fatal accidents on farm. Stay Safe #HaveABreak #TirednessKills

[David Cant @davidgcant]

Underrated safety practice on a site:

Stopping to ask “What could go wrong here?” before starting any task.

You’ll be surprised by how many near-misses you catch if you actually pause for 10 seconds.

Teams don’t want lectures. They want to feel heard and protected.

You don’t build a strong safety culture with rules alone.

You build it by letting everyone finish their thoughts on hazards.

That one habit could prevent the incident that changes everything.

[SafeHabitus @SafeHabitus_eu]

Farms are amongst the most dangerous workplaces in the EU. Unsafe farms are caused by multiple forces, not individual failure 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾

💡 Farm safety is a systemic issue, requiring coordinated action, better data, and stronger policy alignment.

If you are planning to use respiratory protective equipment at work, remember that you must thoroughly assess the hazards in the workplace, the task to be carried out and also assess the wearer

🔵 Fit testing of RPE must be carried out by a competent person

[Safe Ag Systems Users UK @SAS_Users_UK]

Old machinery doesn’t mean it's unsafe. 🚜

But missing guards, lack of safety controls, or worn components? That’s where things go wrong.

Take a closer look at your older machinery.
