‘I am vital to UK agriculture’ – new safety campaign launches
3rd May 2025
The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) is launching new stickers that aim to visually remind everyone to stay safe with a simple message, ‘I am vital to UK Agriculture – Stay Safe’.
The NAAC is asking its contractor members and the wider farming community to join forces and remind each other that they are all vital by placing stickers in prominent places.
The sticker campaign is aiming to prompt more thinking about safety and remind everyone to act, whether that is always wearing a helmet when riding a quad bike, making sure PTO guards are always in place or perhaps switching off a machine before clearing a blockage.
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.”
The NAAC asks agricultural contractors, farmers and the wider industry to come together and use the stickers as a visual reminder anywhere that will prompt action to stay safe.
There will be a social media campaign to promote the stickers, which will be available from the NAAC stand at the Cereals Event on 11th and 12th June 2025.
To obtain stickers, please contact admin@naac.co.uk P&P charges will apply.
