Safetycom - Uk

We have here in UK airspace a SAFETYCOM frequency 135.475 which may be used within 10 nms and below 2000 feet above the elevation of the aerodrome of a non radio aerodrome. It's use is to transmit information regarding the pilot's intention for safety purposes and not as a 'chat' frequency.

How do other pilots monitor this frequency when flying at or below 2000 AGL to afford themselves information on likely traffic landing at and in particular taking off from non radio aerodromes and one assumes helipads are included in this requirement?
