According to the World Health Organization\, more than half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens during the past decade. Farmers and farm workers have higher levels of risk for contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their exposure to animals. Prevention is the best defense. Understanding how the disease transmission process works\, building a team and effectively communicating within that team are essential in preventing the spread of zoonotic disease. Women working in agriculture should be aware of the following special considerations during pregnancy; which animals are common carriers of zoonotic disease\, symptoms of the disease(s)\, prevention measures\, and pregnancy risks. \nObjectives– At the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to:\n-Define zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission\n-Identify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population\n-Discuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects for reproductive health\n-Locate a minimum of three recommended educational resources for use in training an agricultural workforce \nIntended Audience: Supervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\,  health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nProducers: This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, horticulture\, or other livestock. \n  \n This training has expired.

They account for about one-third of the management\, ownership and work on farms\, ranches and in crop production. A major challenge continues to be access to protective equipment that meets the ergonomic needs of women. This program is intended to help women in rural/agricultural communities identify ergonomic issues leading to musculoskeletal injuries in farm and ranch work and discover resources to aid in injury prevention. \nAt the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to: \n1. Identify work site hazards and potential musculoskeletal injuries. \n2. Identify wellness initiatives aimed at reducing risks related to musculoskeletal injuries. \n3.

The cohort has been followed through 3 surveys (1999-2003\, 2005-2010\, and 2012-2015) and regular linkages to databases to assess both cancer and non-cancer health outcomes\, such as respiratory\, autoimmune\, endocrine\, and neurological diseases. Participants provided detailed data on pesticide use and other agricultural exposures at enrollment and in the first two follow-up surveys\, and numerous research papers have investigated potential disease associations. Many participants have also contributed to special studies\, including recent projects on Lung Health\, Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect\, and Memory and Aging. This presentation will highlight a selection of recent findings from the AHS (i.e.\, in the past 5 years)\, including a focus on non-cancer outcomes as well as recent cancer and mortality findings\, and will describe current and future research priorities. \nAt the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\n An overview of the study design and the assessment of exposures and health outcomes\nScope of research and selected findings on non-cancer health outcomes\nHighlights of recent mortality and cancer findings\nDescription of current and future research priorities\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Being 5% healthier may not seem like much of an improvement however\, it’s still better than the alternative which is no improvement. That often times turns into a worse-case scenario. Ted will emphasize simple tools to help break the stagnant cycle and how to strengthen family bonds during times of crisis. \nRural healthcare providers and safety professionals have an important role to play in supporting people experiencing stress or mental health challenges. Come listen as Ted Matthews talks about what we can do to be proactive and prepare ahead of crisis. Ted understands the demands farmers face because he counsels farmers in a plethora of areas from crisis intervention to helping farmers relate to their families and workers to better utilize their resources.  If you’re a rural health professional looking to integrate mental health counseling in your care\, take time to listen to Ted’s experiences.  He will help you rethink your approach to providing mental health support. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

AgriSafe intends to learn from you so that future trainings can be relevant to your professional needs. AgriSafe held a virtual town hall to help formulate best practices for rural health care providers in response to the mental health crisis impacting farm families. Emphasis was placed on caring for the agricultural producer. Various health care professionals\, mental health leaders\, and other stakeholders joined this session to share their perspectives on how best to equip health care providers. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment\, livestock\, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle\, putting all emergency response personnel\, farm workers and family members in danger. Floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold\, tetanus bacteria\, contaminated well water\, heat illness and high stress. This presentation will highlight basic precautions to prevent possible diseases and injuries during and after flooding. \nBy the end of this presentation\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.\nDiscuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.\nIdentify AgriSafe and external resources to address human health risks during a farm flood.\n\n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Additionally\, noise exposure impacts multiple organ systems\, contributing to cardiovascular disease\, hypertension\, obesity\, and other highly prevalent diseases. Although the effects of noise can be mitigated through use of hearing protection and other strategies\, these methods are highly underused in this worker group. Nurses in a variety of clinical settings who provide care for farm operators and farm youth are in a unique position to influence the noise mitigation behaviors of this high-risk and underserved group. In this webinar designed for nurses caring for workers in production agriculture\, learners will discuss methods of assessing worker exposure to hazardous noise\, and evidence-based nursing approaches to protect workers from the negative effects of noise on hearing and worker well-being. \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss several risk factors for noise-induced health problems common among farmers.\nDescribe major features of interventions shown to be effective in influencing farmers’ use of hearing protection.\nDiscuss best practices for clinical application of farm noise mitigation effectiveness research.\n\n  \n This training has expired.
