The webinars by Ilinca (situation awareness in farming and forestry contexts) and Sofia (fatigue in forestry) will likely be of interest to anyone with a passion for #safety and #humanfactors in #farming and #forestry.
To make attending our research webinars even easier this year we have created an eventbrite page: signing up for a free ticket gives you access to all six webinar links :-) you can access each link, with date and time details, via the online event page.
