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.

This training will assist agriculture-based employers who require respirator use to comply with the OSHA respiratory protection program standard. Training includes written worksite specific procedures\, program evaluation\, selection of an appropriate respirator approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)\, training\, fit testing\, inspection\, cleaning\, maintenance\, and storage\, medical evaluation\, work area surveillance and air quality standards. \nAt the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize the diverse respiratory hazards unique to agricultural and the justification for a comprehensive respiratory program.\nIdentify the OSHA respirator standards that apply to an agricultural setting.\nUnderstand key components of an effective respiratory protection program.\nLearn how to access resources\, templates\, medical evaluations\, and further trainings to effectively implement a respiratory program.\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.
