Hello all, hope you are well,
Just wanted to let you know NTSAg, University of Aberdeen, have now launched our FREE tractor situation awareness app - SA Go. The app takes our original tractor situation awareness checklist (based on research with farmers and launched on Landward) and converts it into app format, making conducting checks and enhancing situation awareness even easier! The aim is to support farmers in running a series of routine checks both while planning a job, and right before they jump in their tractors - and the app provides practical advice to rectify any identified issues. After a few uses the app will also highlight any recurrent issues through the data presentation link. The app does not store any personal data and adheres to data protection guidance - only the individual user can access their own history of checks through the data presentation aspect. The app can be downloaded onto both apple and android devices and used both with, and without an internet connection.
The app, and instructions for download, can be accessed here: https://research.abdn.ac.uk/applied-psych-hf/app/
It would be great if you could share details of the app with your networks - test users suggest it would be useful as a training tool, as well as a tool for enhancing routine checks.
Hope it proves useful
