During this presentation\, we will discuss many of these including augers\, grain bins\, gravity boxes\, tractors\, power take-offs (PTOs)\, manure pits\, chemical exposures\, animals\, and gasoline-powered pressure sprayers. One of the most common causes of serious injuries and deaths to youth on farms and ranches are the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs) like all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)\, utility task vehicles (UTVs)\, and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs). The safety concerns and prevention strategies related to ORVs will be a featured segment of the presentation. A general overview of how the growth and development of youth affect the risk of injury\, and the role healthcare providers can assume to impact injury prevention will be discussed. \nIntended Audience: Anyone working with youth in agriculture\, and rural healthcare providers \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Name at least four specific safety hazards on farms and express how one might counsel families to prevent injuries from those hazards.\n2. Describe what a PTO is and how one avoids injuries associated with them.\n3. State at least two ways to prevent injury when operating tractors.\n4. Convey how one would attempt the rescue of someone caught in a grain bin\, or manage an extremity caught in an auger.\n5. Explain at least three reasons why off-road vehicles like all-terrain vehicles and utility task vehicles are not designed to be used on roads. \nPresenter: Charles Jennissen\, MD\, Clinical Professor\, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine \n Watch the Recording Here \n  URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/nfshw-2021-pediatric-farm-related-injuries-safeguarding-children-who-visit-or-live-on-farms/ CATEGORIES:Health Education and Promotion,National Farm Safety and Health Week,Youth Safety and Health ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.agrisafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/NFSHW-2021-logo-.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210921T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210921T150000 DTSTAMP:20260501T120707 CREATED:20210825T222143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210922T124211Z UID:4957-1632232800-1632236400@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: Food in the Field DESCRIPTION:Summary: With 18+ hour workdays\, the stress of the weather\, dealing with markets and policies\, and limited nutritious\, one-handed dining options\, it is easy to put healthy eating on the back burner during the busy seasons of harvest and planting.

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  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

However\, agriculture is one of our most hazardous occupations\, and the only worksite where children of any age can legally be present. The purpose of this presentation is to increase knowledge and awareness of agricultural child injuries\, and extend the reach and dissemination of childhood agricultural injury prevention (CAIP) strategies and resources. \nBy the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the benefits and risks of growing up on a farm\nIdentify effective safety policies and strategies\nIdentify resources and organizations that can work together to promote farm safety\n\n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

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.

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.
