Non-technical skills research team @aberdeenuni, sharing our #AppliedPsychology approach to #FarmSafety. Using research to produce practical tools.Views our own

[NTSAg @NTS_Ag]

Our paper describing the development of the FLINTS system, outlining the safety critical skills for #farmers, and providing a support and assessment tool, is now out in the journal of Agromedicine: https://t.co/QwcrYKs0YP

[NTSAg @NTS_Ag]

Some relevant topics in this symposium for those interested in #farmsafety including #accident under-reporting, #safetyclimate and #cognitivereadiness

[Applied Psychology and Human Factors @APHFAberdeen]

See below thread for details on each of the speakers and topics for our upcoming online #humanfactors and #appliedpsychology research symposium on Tuesday 18th April. Tickets are free and can be booked here: https://t.co/g5AOtbFK4d open to all :-)

Given the dangers associated with #farm vehicles, and the HSE recent campaign, seems timely to remind folks of our #situationawareness checklist, emphasising the importance of sharing info, #planning ahead and checking your surroundings: https://t.co/dNFiNOCP4j free to download

The webinars by Ilinca (situation awareness in farming and forestry contexts) and Sofia (fatigue in forestry) will likely be of interest to anyone with a passion for #safety and #humanfactors in #farming and #forestry

[Applied Psychology and Human Factors @APHFAberdeen]

To make attending our research webinars even easier this year we have created an eventbrite page: https://t.co/Fg8Hx6ldUK signing up for a free ticket gives you access to all six webinar links :-) you can access each link, with date and time details, via the online event page.

A big area of our research has been devoted to applying #nontechnicalskills to #agriculture. One of our key papers in this area investigated the #situationawareness requirements, potential lapses, and factors leading to lapses with #tractor drivers.

[Dr Amy Irwin @Dr_AIrwin]

We explored the factors that might influence a farmer to wear / not wear a helmet when riding an #ATV

Listen &share. @NTS_Ag @aberdeenuni have produced a lot of useful #farmsafety guidance too. We need to find ways to raise awareness amongst ‘Health & Safety’ Professionals as well as farmers. @IOSH_tweets @IOSH_Rural @FSP_England @NFUtweets @yellowwelliesuk @FarmSafetyHour @H_S_E

#MindYourHead data from a study conducted last year with Scottish farmers and rural participants.

#MindYourHead

[Farm Safety Foundation @yellowwelliesuk]

How often do we say we’re ok when we’re not?
How often do you really listen when you ask someone?

Get to the heart of the matter this #ValentinesDay & always #AskTwice. Take a minute to watch & share our new video.

& #MindYourHead 💛

[Farm Safety Foundation @yellowwelliesuk]

Welcome to #MindYourHead week. A day like Valentine’s Day celebrating love and togetherness can often highlight how alone or low we feel. So check in with yourself and others, and remember that self-love is important too – not just today, but every day: https://t.co/Ddfhbx9PS1 💛

[FarmSafetyHour @FarmSafetyHour]

Hello everyone! Welcome along to #FarmSafetyHour We're here every Thursday 19:30-20:30GMT to start the #conversation around #FarmSafety We all know #Farming can't continue on the path it is on so let's work together to #CultivateChange Thank you for being with us all over the 🌎

[NTSAg @NTS_Ag]

@HoweTess Absolutely - monitoring staff includes spotting signs of stress / fatigue, ensuring staff are managing tasks ok (e.g. do they need a hand) and maintaining oversight of worker locations and progress (e.g. has someone dropped out of contact). https://t.co/I9EPe22EeK

[NTSAg @NTS_Ag]

So why should #farmers be interested in #NonTechnicalSkills?
1. There are decades of research showing that these skills are vital in high risk industries, so much so that training in these skills is compulsory in some areas (e.g. aviation).
