COMET is a community-based intervention to activate community members and provide them with language\, tools\, and confidence to intervene when they notice someone around them is unwell\, and before a mental health crisis occurs. COMET supports community wellness by focusing on the upstream prevention of mental and emotional health crises. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n Learn the importance of being “the other person” and the seven-component conversation guide \n Practice with tailored scenarios\, share feedback \n Participate in discussions of comfort level and motivation\, and review resources \nIntended audience: Anyone is welcome. While a range of populations can find COMET very useful\, the program is specifically designed for people living in rural communities. In this setting\, the training may also be useful for individuals looking to add a training like COMET to their own programming. \nMeet the Presenter: Maret Felzien\, MA\, Faculty\, COMET and Chad Reznicek\, MA\, LPC\, Behavioral Health State Specialist\, Colorado AgrAbility Project \n Register \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

As farms expand and equipment grows in size\, the risks on rural roadways continue to rise\, not just for farmers but for the entire motoring public. This session will explore how design solutions\, especially those connected to lighting and marking design standards\, reduce collision risk. We’ll unpack crash data\, examine discrepancies between federal and state requirements\, and highlight recent NHTSA regulations that focus national attention on these issues. We’ll also explore new risks associated with trailering\, longer transport routes\, and the safety implications of the accelerating shift toward autonomous and robotic machinery. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n Describe how changes in farm size\, equipment design\, and changes in rural communities contribute to increased roadway travel and higher collision risk. \n Explain the purpose and impact of consensus design standards and how alignment (or misalignment) with state regulations can influence roadway safety outcomes. \n Identify new roadway safety concerns tied to equipment trailering\, larger machines\, and longer travel distances across spread-out farm operations. \n Assess how automation and robotics in agriculture will introduce both new risks and promising safety solutions—and how policy\, like California’s current occupational safety tractor rules\, will shape their future use. \nIntended audience: Farmers\, policymakers\, extension educators\, engineers from equipment companies\, law enforcement\, clinicians\, health professionals\, agricultural association leaders\, agribusiness professionals\, insurance loss control/underwriters\, vo-ag instructors\, machinery dealers \nMeet the Presenter: Dr. John Shutske\, Agricultural Safety & Health Specialist and Professor\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \n Watch the Recording \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

Transportation incidents\, which include tractor overturns and roadway crashes\, were the leading cause of death for farmers and farm workers and caused injuries from minor to debilitating. \nSo how can we reduce fatalities and prevent serious injuries? One answer lies in the vital work of AgrAbility\, which helps farmers and ranchers with disabilities continue working safely and productively. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \nRecognize AgrAbility\, their resources and the people they serve \n Identify strategies for how to prevent traffic injuries \n List risk factors related to aging \nIntended Audience: Farmers/ranchers and those that support them\, and anyone who drives \nMeet the Presenter: Cindy Kovar\, BS\, CPST\, CarFit Technician & Coordinator\, AARP Certified Instructor \n Watch the Recording \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

Measuring the on-site WBGT with a heat stress monitor provides the most accurate localized assessment of a worker’s environmental heat exposure. However\, WBGT data may not always be easily accessible for worksite heat stress evaluation. \nThe OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool\, a mobile app that provides current and forecasted heat index and its corresponding risk\, has been considered as an alternative tool for assessing environmental heat metrics in the workplace but was found to be inaccurate in assessing high and extreme heat stress risks at any workload type. Thus\, there is still a need for alternative WBGT-based tools\, such as well-designed mobile apps\, that are more accessible and cheaper for HRI prevention among outdoor workers. A novel web app prototype was developed at East Carolina University to calculate the current and forecasted WBGT index for a specific location as a promising tool for HRI prevention among outdoor workers\, but it has not been tested for accuracy. This course intends to explain the findings of a research study that assessed the reliability of a WBGT app prototype in providing accurate heat stress risk information for outdoor workers in eastern North Carolina.  \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for farmworkers and other outdoor workers\, farmers and other outdoor worker supervisors and managers\, and occupational health and safety professionals.  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nUnderstand the importance of using wet-bulb-globe temperature (WBGT) index as an environmental heat metric for heat stress exposure assessment \nUnderstand how a heat stress assessment mobile app estimates the outdoor WBGT index using weather data \nUnderstand the comparison and correlation between WBGT index measured by a heat stress monitor and WBGT index calculated by the WBGT app prototype \n\nPresenter: Jo Anne G.

DESCRIPTION:Summary: A review of the literature related to the problem of grain related entrapments and engulfments clearly suggests that the most effective response is to focus on rescuing workers once entrapped. The evidence shows that this approach is both inconsistent with the data and has generated little progress in reducing the frequency and severity of these incidents. After summarizing over 1\,200 of these incidents\, of which approximately 60% resulted in fatalities\, the findings clearly show that the problem is not entrapment due to the flowing grain\, but rather the documented presence of out-of-condition or spoiled grain that becomes a barrier to removal of grain from storage. Though not as popular as conducting a grain rescue class for emergency first responders\, enhancing the knowledge and skills of grain producers to maintain high quality grain will not only reduce entrapment incidents\, but will improve profitability for the producer. This webinar will address the well documented relationship between the presence of out-of-condition grain and the increased probability of grain-related entrapment. Methods for safe removal of out-of-condition grain will also be addressed. \nIntended Audience: Agricultural safety and health professionals\, emergency first responders\, agricultural workers\, grain storage and handling personnel \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentifythe most signifigant causes of grain-related entrapement including out-of-condition grain\nDiscuss the need to focus on preventative measures rather than emergency first response strategies \nExplain strategies for removing out-of-condition grain in a safe manner \n\nPresenter: Bill Field\, PhD\, Professor\, Purdue University\, Extension Safety Leader\, Purdue Cooperative Extension Service \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1.0 contact hours for this activity.

Ag equipment is much larger and heavier than personal vehicles.  As agriculture changes\, even in rural areas\, there are fewer residents that are familiar with ag equipment and may not have an understanding how the equipment on the roadway can affect them.  A decision to pass\, follow closely\, or failure to provide space when meeting equipment on a two-lane road can have consequences.  Furthermore\, as metropolitan areas expand further into agriculture communities\, farmers will meet even more personal vehicles in places they are not expecting them that are not aware of the precautions that they need to take when meeting or passing ag equipment.  Farmers also have responsibility when driving on rural roadways\, they need to be aware of vehicles around them\, how much of the road they are taking up\, and that they are using the equipment’s lighting and signage properly. This webinar is to provide an understanding of where the interaction between agriculture machines and non-rural traffic is occurring\, what are some of the more common types of incidents that are occurring\, and what resources are available to reduce ag equipment and regular vehicle incidents.  \nIntended Audience:  Driving public\, producers\, and ag service providers  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nTypes of roadway incidents involving ag equipment that occur \nWhere many of these incidents occur \nThe lighting and marking available on modern agricultural equipment \nWhat resources are available to help producers be seen on roadways. \n\nPresenter: Ed Brokesh\, PhD\, MBA\, BS Ag Engineering\nAssistant Professor\, Carl and Melinda Helwig Bio and Ag Engineering Department\, Kansas State University  \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1. 0 contact hours for this activity.
