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.

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.

Prevention of Heat Related Illness in Agriculture Train the Trainer DESCRIPTION:[Illustration: Word cloud\, with the most prominent phrase being “heat wave\,” along with dozens of varying sizes of words and phrases\, including\, “infant heat stroke\,” “elderly\,” and “heat index.”] \nSummary: Agriculture is ranked as one of the most dangerous occupations and involves workers and family members of all ages. Heat-related illness occurs when the body’s temperature gets too high and the body’s ability to dissipate heat through sweating and other methods is overcome. Several conditions can result from this such as heat cramps\, heat exhaustion\, or heatstroke. In 2014\, 253\,000 young workers between the ages of 16-23 were employed in agriculture. In production agriculture\, it is common to work in a hot environment and/ or in direct sunlight. Every year\, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat\, and some even die. Heat-related illnesses\, while potentially deadly\, are easily preventable. \nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the various types of heat-related illnesses\nIdentify warning signs of life-threatening exposures\nLearn immediate care procedures\nAccess educational resources\n\n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/invest-in-your-health-stay-cool-prevention-of-heat-related-illness-in-agriculture-2/ CATEGORIES:Hazards,Health Education and Promotion,Heat Related Illnesses,Youth Safety and Health ORGANIZER;CN="Knesha Rose-Davison%2C MPH%2C CPH":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240313T160000 DTSTAMP:20260419T151844 CREATED:20240228T001039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T211431Z UID:18393-1710342000-1710345600@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Invest in Your Health - Cover Up!

Farmers are at very high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries\, and farming is one of few industries in which family members (who often share the work and live on the premises) are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries. ATVs and UTVs are found on all types of farms; they are useful for agricultural work\, but they also pose serious hazards to operators and passengers. Studies indicate that injured ATV/UTV passengers are more commonly female and youth and that helmet use is significantly lower for passengers. The focus of the training would be on ATV/UTV maintenance and safety features\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, load and weight considerations\, operation on public roadways\, as well as employee training and considerations for working alone. \nIntended Audience: Producers- 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\, poultry\, or other livestock. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Workers may be exposed to various types of occupational hazards simultaneously\, possibly increasing the risk of adverse health outcomes. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for ensuring a safe working environment in agriculture. It is essential to utilize PPE that meets safety standards\, is appropriate for your work\, and is the proper fit. PPE is often designed with men in mind\, making adequate fit and function problematic for women in agriculture. \nThis training will address the different hazards in agricultural work and the appropriate PPE for women. Additionally\, this training will review how to conduct both a respirator fit test and a fit check (seal check) procedure.
