How NWF Agriculture increased hazard reporting by 230%
Notify has played a huge part in ensuring our employees stay safe at work. Their fantastic software and App based solution continues to help us proactively spot hazards, so we can get ahead of risks and continue to safely deliver the highest quality products to farmers across the UK.”
Dawn Davies – Health, Safety and Compliance Manager
NWF Agriculture started life in 1871 as a farmer-owned trading company and now forms part of the AIM market quoted NWF Group plc. Covering the major dairy farming areas from Central Scotland all the way down the UK to Cornwall, their main business is the manufacture and supply of ruminant compound feeds and blends. This is supported by a comprehensive Trading Desk supplying a range of straights and speciality feeds, forage seeds and additives.
As an industry leader, maintaining high standards of safety is crucial. For NWF, a strong focus on safety not only ensures the well-being of its employees but also enhances operational efficiency, safeguarding the quality and continuity of their service and enabling them to deliver their supplies safety to over 4,750 farmers across the UK.
Before implementing Notify’s Health and Safety Software, NWF’s approach to safety was labour-intensive and inconsistent. The process was entirely paper-based, leading to challenges like lost information, mistakes, and an inability to quickly analyse and act upon safety data. This lack of efficiency resulted in unidentified safety risks being present and increased administrative workload, making it difficult for the safety team to proactively implement safety initiatives.
NWF chose Notify because of the software’s adaptability and cost-effective pricing model. Another major factor in their decision was Notify’s approachable and extremely helpful team, who ensured that the system could be tailored to meet NWF’s specific needs. Since the transition, Notify has transformed NWF’s safety management approach. Incident and hazard reporting has significantly increased, providing the safety team with better visibility of potential risks and enabling them to assign and implement corrective or preventative actions quickly and efficiently. With all of their safety data now in one place, NWF no longer have to spend time manually searching for information, saving hours on manual admin tasks each week.
