Make sure you're good to go - before you go 🚙

Hitching up your trailer this weekend? Make sure your trailer is safe!
NTTA - National Trailer and Towing Association has been working on an initiative to introduce the UK's first Free Safety Check program for the light trailer industry.

All trailers, unbraked and braked, up to 3500kg (gross weight) can be taken to a participating NTTA Trusted Workshop Member for the Free Safety Check, which could highlight issues that should be addressed. The NTTA Free Safety Check is a visual inspection only, but will give you an overview on the general safety aspects of your trailer. If suspect items are found, they will be highlighted and you will be given the option to have them repaired. Each of the Safety Check record sheets are individually numbered and NTTA will keep a record of the findings.

Items inspected are: -
Lights, Electrics, Brake Cables (if applicable), Tyres (condition), Tyres (pressures), Wheel Alignment, Drawbar, Handbrake operation (if applicable), Breakaway Cable / Secondary Coupling Device, Jockey Wheel Operation, Coupling head operation, Wheel Bearings, General Chassis Condition, General Body Condition and General Floor Condition - an even more important one for the safety of your horses

Nottinghamshire unfortunately doesn't have a Safety Check Centre approved by the NTTA however there are centres near Bolsover, Derby, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Sleaford and Hull - find your nearest Centre here: https://orlo.uk/hr4By and keep your horses safe on the road 🐴

THIS!! I bang on about this relentlessly!!

HAVE 👏 A 👏 PLAN 👏

🚨 Make Your Plans Now! Do Not Wait Until It's Too Late!

Following on from our recent shares on emergency evacuation planning, we want to emphasise just how vital it is to get your yard fire safety plan sorted today.

If you haven't listened to the recommended podcast episodes on yard emergency evacuation yet, they are truly worth a listen—packed with invaluable, practical advice on handling crises. But while international insights are helpful, we must look at the UK context: with dry spells, changing climates, and very real fire risks hitting closer to home, preparation on UK yards is an absolute necessity.

By taking the time to prepare now, you will save critical, life-saving minutes when a disaster or evacuation is imminent!

How to put your plan in place:

Terrible hold ups on the way to work this morning 🤦

02/07/2026

Yesterday the HSE released the previous years fatality information and statistics.

Whilst it is easy to forget that the numbers are a family, mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife, parent or friend that are now missing a piece.

Let's never forget that one is too many 🖤

With less than three weeks to go until the launch of FarmersAid at the Royal Cornwall Show on 4 June, support from across the farming sector will play a vital role in helping the initiative reach as many farming people as possible.

The modelling behind FarmersAid suggests that around 10,000 active users - roughly 2% of the UK farming workforce - could be enough for the initiative to begin helping save lives during serious on-farm emergencies. At higher levels of adoption, the potential impact of FarmersAid increases further.

Alongside that long-term potential, FarmersAid is designed to help farming people better understand how to respond in the event of a serious on-farm accident - helping people think fast, act right and feel more prepared, even if they never need to use it in a real-life situation.

As RABI Chief Executive Alicia Chivers said when we introduced FarmersAid at the Oxford Farming Conference 2026, “FarmersAid has the potential to make a real difference, but it will only achieve national reach if the sector gets behind it collectively. By working together to build awareness and encourage downloads, we can help get FarmersAid into more farming communities across the UK - and that could save lives.”

A huge thank you to the organisations, partners and individuals already helping build momentum behind FarmersAid, including NFU Mutual, NFU - National Farmers' Union, National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs, Harper Adams University, Farm Safety Foundation - Yellow Wellies, Farmers Guardian, Coate PR, The CLA, Royal Cornwall Show, and AIC - Agricultural Industries Confederation

Please help share FarmersAid across your networks, encourage downloads when the app launches on 4 June and register interest ahead of launch at: https://farmersaid.org.uk/
