While the use of ATVs/UTVs on public roadways increases the likelihood of a crash with another vehicle\, the majority of roadway deaths and an even higher proportion of injuries on public roads are single ATV/UTV crashes not involving another motor vehicle. \nATVs/UTVs are designed for off-road use only\, and manufacturers have strongly stated that they should not be operated on public roadways. In fact\, the majority of deaths associated with these vehicles occur on public roads. Despite this\, an increasing number of states\, counties\, and municipalities across the country are passing laws allowing ATVs/UTVs to operate on public roadways for transportation and recreational purposes. During this presentation\, we will discuss the safety issues surrounding ATVs/UTVs on public roads and\, in particular\, the design elements of ATVs/UTVs that place their operators at greater risk on public roads. We will discuss how rural families can help protect themselves\, their families\, and employees from ATV/UTV-related crashes and injury. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n List at least three design features of ATVs and UTVs that contribute to crashes and subsequent injury\, and be able to discuss how these features make ATVs/UTVs vulnerable to problems on both paved and unpaved roads. \n Identify at least three other factors that contribute to ATV/UTV-related crashes and injuries\, and how they might decrease the risk to themselves\, their families\, and employees. \n Understand and appreciate ATV/UTV safety messages they might share with others\, and how they could be effective advocates for informed safety legislation regarding ATVs/UTVs. \nIntended audience: Farmers\, ranchers\, parents\, agriculture production workers\, healthcare providers\, emergency medical services\, public health officials\, government and legislative leaders\, administrators \nMeet the Presenter: Charles Jennissen\, MD\, Clinical Professor and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician\, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine \n Watch the Recording \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

The Example of the French Substitute Farmer Program DESCRIPTION:Summary: Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations but also one of the most stressful. Yet\, we often hear that farmers work through injuries\, illnesses\, or burnout even though doing so can delay recovery and in some cases\, worsen their condition. In this webinar\, Florence Becot from Pennsylvania State University and Andy Bater a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Board will discuss why farmers continue working despite health challenges and highlight the importance of developing substitute labor solutions to support farmers’ well-being and farm business viability. As an example of a long-established model\, Julien Deroo and Karim Cheurfa Molinier will present the French substitute farmer program\, la “Fédération des Services de Remplacement”. Started 50 years ago\, this network of 300 non-profit organizations across France serves a dual purpose. First\, it provides substitute labor so that work on the farm can continue while farmers regain their health as well as when they need to be away from the farm for other purposes. Second\, it serves as a workforce development platform for the agricultural sector as many of the substitute farmers earn practical experience in addition to their school training and/or already have hands-on farming experience. \nCreated by farmers for farmers and managed by them through a mix of funding sources\, its membership includes 67\,000 farmer members (15% of the farming population in France) and 15\,000 substitute farmers\, and it has facilitated the substitution of 5 million work hours on farms last year. Agnes Papone\, a farmer and elected representative of a “Service de Remplacement” in the southeast of France\, will then share her family’s experience using the program. We will leave time for an interactive discussion with the audience about opportunities and challenges to develop substitute farmer programs in the U.S. \nIntended Audience: Farmer health and safety professionals\, AgrAbility and FRSAN programs\, CDC NIOSH Ag centers\, researchers\, representatives of farmer organizations\, state and federal agencies of agriculture\, staffers of legislators on agricultural committees \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDiscuss factors impacting farmers’ ability to take time off to recover from health-related challenges.\nDescribe the long-established French substitute farmer program to support farmers’ well-being and their farm operation’s viability. This includes how its goals\, structure\, and funding mode.\nDiscuss opportunities and challenges to develop labor substitute programs in the U.S.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n-Florence Becot\, PhD\, MS\, Rural Sociologist\, Nationwide Insurance Early Career Professor in Agricultural Safety and Health\, Pennsylvania State University \n-Andy Bater\, Board Director\, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau District 6 Board \n-Karim Cheurfa Molinier\, MS\, Advisor\, Service de Remplacement France \n-Julien Deroo\, Project Manager\, Service de Remplacement France \n-Agnès Papone\, Voluntary Secretary General\, Service de Remplacement France \n  \n Register \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

These products include food\, drugs\, personal care and other products. Up to half a million Americans are estimated to be affected by AGS; most live in high-prevalence states in the South\, Midwest\, and East Coast. \nFarmers are at higher risk of tick bites and developing AGS. For farmers\, AGS is not just a food allergy\, it’s an occupational allergy. Reactions fluids\, waste\, and dander from livestock can make caring for them difficult. In this seminar\, we will provide an introduction to AGS\, share tips on avoiding it\, and hear from farmers and ranchers about the challenges of farming with AGS and how to manage them. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will understand… \n\nThe basics of alpha-gal syndrome\nWhen and how to seek a diagnosis\nHow farmers cope with AGS\nNext-level tick bite avoidance tips\n\nIntended Audience: Farmers and ranchers\, hunters\, park rangers\, foresters\, surveyors\, line workers\, gardeners\, hikers\, and other people with outdoor jobs and hobbies. \nMeet the Presenters: \n–Sharon Forsyth\, Executive Director\, Alpha-gal Alliance \n–Candice Matthis\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n–Debbie Nichols\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n  \n Register \n  \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.
