SUMMARY:Webinar:  Implementing Community-Led Interventions with Gulf Coast Seafood Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: The University of Texas Medical Branch conducted semi-structured interviews and observations with Gulf Coast shrimp fishermen to understand their healthcare experiences and needs as well as policies that are impacting their health. Community-based participatory research (CBPR)\, a relational model that values the participants as equal partners in research\, dissemination\, and implementation\, guided the interviews. To address the lack of healthcare options for (im)migrants\, and at the request of the seafood workers participating in the ongoing CBPR study\, we successfully implemented and treated workers through a free mobile clinic. Many of these individuals had not been seen by a healthcare provider in years\, highlighting the importance of community trust and rapport building when addressing interconnected health and safety issues. CBPR\, when applied to high-risk occupational settings with underreached populations (e.g.\, (im)migrant workers)\, can improve health and prevent injury. \nObjectives: At the end of this presentation\, participants will be able to…\n– Describe the healthcare experiences and needs of (im)migrant seafood workers\n– Describe the principles of CBPR and how it can be applied to total worker health research\n– Discuss the difficulties of CBPR and ways to ensure the community is equitably engaged in all aspects of research-to-practice partnerships \nIntended Audience: Researchers\, Practitioners\, or Policymakers \n Watch Now  \n\nContinuing Education:\nThe Midwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety offers 0.10 CEU or 1.0 contact hour/s of participation. This course is eligible for 1.0 CPH Recertification Credits and is sponsored by the University of Minnesota School of Public Health\, an approved provider of CPH Recertification Credits by the National Board of Public Health Examiners. The following groups of professionals have been able to use these CEUs in the past; Industrial Hygiene (CIH)\, Certified Public Health Professional(CPH)\, Certified Safety Professional (CSP)\, Nursing (RN\, LPN)\, Social Work (LSW)\, Occupational Therapy (OT)\, Physical Therapy (PT)\, Audiology (ABA)\, and others. Please contact your accrediting agency regarding any questions about receiving credits. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultivating a Healthy Mind - Mental Wellness for Youth Train the Trainer
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Stigma exists across all age groups for those struggling with mental health. Navigation of the teen years in everyday situations can create angst and uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to express. Adding mental illness and mental crisis to a teen or young adult’s typical growth and development makes struggling with emotions\, relationships\, academic success\, and safety more challenging. According to the CDC\, rates of depression and anxiety climb significantly during the ages of 12-17. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youths in the United States. This module opens an introductory discussion of mental health among teens and young adults with guidance from an adult educator. Focus is placed on decreasing stigma\, improving mental health literacy\, and positive coping skills for teens and young adults. The module showcases a high school agricultural student’s understanding of the agricultural mental health crisis\, helping to frame mental health distress to academic and future career success. \nObjectives: After the module\, teens and young adults will be able to…. \n\nUnderstand the relationship of mental health to physical health and academic or career success\nRecognize basic signs or symptoms that present when young adults experience mental stress\nIdentify healthy and unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with mental distress\nCommunicate their concerns when suspecting they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis\n\nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \n Watch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Invest in Your Health- Stay Cool! 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

SUMMARY:NFSHW24: Using a Novel App Prototype to Assess Heat Stress Risk Among Outdoor Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index is the preferred environmental heat metric for heat-related illness (HRI) prevention in the workplace and is typically measured using a heat stress monitor. 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Environmental Health Literacy and Agricultural Exposures: Where Ag Safety and Cancer Prevention Meet
DESCRIPTION:Summary: There is growing concern over the role of environmental and occupational exposures in rising cancer rates in Iowa and across the country. People employed in agriculture and related industries in rural areas may face unique environmental and occupational exposures\, besides genetic and behavioral risk factors\, that can cause cancer. \nRural barriers to accessing healthcare may compound the effects of environmental and occupational exposures in these settings. Understandable and actionable risk communications can help address existing rural cancer disparities. In this presentation\, the presenters will provide tips on how to integrate evidence-based environmental health and cancer prevention information into rural and agricultural work. Participants will learn how to better communicate risk\, answer questions\, and strengthen environmental health literacy in their communities. \nIntended Audience: Individuals with an interest in rural and agricultural communities are encouraged to attend. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to…​ \n\nDefine environmental health literacy and its role in community health promotion and advocacy.\nIdentify evidence-based resources on environmental factors that can increase cancer risk in an agricultural setting and apply them to your own health and safety education materials.\nFind the overlap in goals and communication strategies between cancer control and agricultural safety and health professionals.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n– Caroline Powell\, BA\, MS\, Candidate University of Iowa\, Environmental Outreach Coordinator\, Iowa Cancer Consortium \n– Audrey E.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tick Bites\, Meat Allergy\, and Caring for Livestock: What Farmers and Ranchers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)  is an emerging tick-borne allergy to alpha-gal\, a sugar found in mammals and products derived from them. 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: What Happens When Farmers Get Hurt\, Sick\, or Burned Out? 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.
