Safety First: How the NFU is Revolutionizing Farm Safety with PeopleSafe

As a journalist, I’ve always been fascinated by the ways in which technology can improve our daily lives. But when it comes to the world of farming, safety is paramount. That’s why I was excited to learn about the National Farmers Union’s (NFU) new partnership with PeopleSafe, a leading provider of employee safety solutions.

PeopleSafe is renowned for its innovative people protection technology and over 20 years of expertise in prioritizing the safety of lone workers across various industries. Its range of safety solutions provides comprehensive protection for workers at all risk levels, ensuring peace of mind with round-the-clock coverage.

NFU Deputy President David Exwood said:

“Our farmers often work in isolated and challenging environments where safety is paramount.
