A Train the Trainer Program DESCRIPTION:Summary: Agriculture is ranked as one of the most dangerous occupations and involves workers and families of all ages\, but injuries can be prevented if we use the right protective equipment for the job. This program will present an overview of common exposures in farming and ranching. Students can discuss those exposures and determine the appropriate protective gear for each scenario. In addition\, there is one case study presenting common multiple exposures that young people experience are included for discussion. A video is also included for classroom use. \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: After attending the training\, participants/educators will be able to… \n\nReview indicators related to the need for and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in agriculture\nSelect decision-making activities designed for classroom timeframes\nIdentify safety and health resources for use in educational settings\n\n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/train-the-trainer-cover-up-head-to-toe-personal-protective-equipment-2/ CATEGORIES:Farmer/Worker Health,Hazards,Hearing Loss Prevention,Personal Protective Equipment,Respiratory Health,Youth Safety and Health ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.agrisafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/half-mask-opt.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Charlotte Halverson%2C RN%2C BSN%2C COHN-S":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210708T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210708T130000 DTSTAMP:20260511T144837 CREATED:20210629T225402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210721T154101Z UID:2315-1625745600-1625749200@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Train the Trainer: Cover Up!

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. In this Webinar designed for agricultural producers who are military veterans\, learners will learn how to identify hazardous noise sources\, strategies to reduce exposure to hazardous noise; and select and use of strategies to protect themselves from the negative effects of noise on their hearing and general health. \nIntended Audience: Military Veterans engaged in agricultural production \nObjectives:\nUpon completion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify harmful noise sources which have the potential to cause hearing damage and other health effects\nIdentify strategies to reduce exposure to hazardous noise\nDescribe appropriate selection and use of personal protective equipment\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.
