SUMMARY:Webinar: Musculoskeletal & Ergonomic Safety for Forest Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forest workers face unique ergonomic challenges due to their exposure to extreme environmental conditions\, heavy workload\, and dangerous tools and machines. The forest sector has one of the highest rates of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)\, almost 100 times higher than the industrial targets the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) set. This program is intended to help forest workers identify ergonomic issues leading to musculoskeletal injuries and discover resources to aid in injury treatment and prevention. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n1. Identify work site hazards and potential resulting musculoskeletal injuries. \n2. Identify three initiatives aimed at reducing risks related to musculoskeletal injuries. \n3. Locate evidence-based resources in the forestry health and safety field that address ergonomic security. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, logging equipment operators\, sawing machine setters\, operators and tenders\, and truck drivers. \n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor. It does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor\, nor does mention of trade names\, commercial products\, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Combating Heat and Cold Stress for Forestry Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forestry workers may be subject to extreme heat and cold. Working outdoors makes people more likely to become dehydrated and experience heat-related illness or heat stress. High temperatures reduce work capacity and may lead to heat stress and dehydration. Although exposure to heat stress is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal.  Similarly\, cold weather can reduce dexterity\, blood flow\, muscle strength\, and balance. Hypothermia\, frostbite\, trench foot\, and chilblains are all illnesses and injuries caused by cold stress. However\, forestry workers can avoid heat-related illness and cold stress with proper information and preventative action. This presentation will explore both weather-related conditions and their impact on outdoor workers. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, logging equipment operators\, sawing machine setters\, operators and tenders\, and truck drivers. \nObjectives: After the training\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine Heat Stress\, Cold Stress\, and their related conditions.\nIdentify vulnerable populations and critical warning signs for interventions.\nShare essential resources for Workplace Safety Practices.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant #SH-000099-SH3 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
