SUMMARY:Webinar: Preventing Workplace Violence for Forestry Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forestry and logging workers are exposed to a range of biological hazards\, extreme weather\, accidents\, and – especially for women– assault. Workplace violence is violence or the threat of violence against workers. This training will review the many forms of workplace violence among co-workers\, including sexual harassment. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) states that “each employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.” In this presentation\, AgriSafe will focus on educating forestry employees and their employers on reporting violent incidents to authorities\, informing employees of their legal rights\, and safe work practices. \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: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to understand: \n1. The scope and nature of workplace violence occurring in the forestry sector today. \n2. Employers’ responsibilities in addressing workplace violence and implementing preventive measures. \n3. Effective strategies and interventions that can make the workplace safer and more responsive to employee victims. \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.

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.
