Women in all industries\, including agriculture\, have trouble finding and purchasing respiratory protective equipment that fits and is safe and comfortable wear. The National Safety Council\, in a 2019 publication of Safety and Health\, reported OSHA documentation indicating the lack of a full range of PPE\, as well as\, employers’ limited knowledge of PPE designed for women – as some of the reasons for the difficulty.  Focus of the training is on anhydrous ammonia safety during transport and application\, including the anatomy of the nurse tank and toolbar\, safety inspection processes\, hitching and unhitching safety\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, rural roadway safety\, and first aid/emergency procedures.  Hazard communication and emergency action plans will also be addressed. \nIntended Audience: Farm/Ranch owner and operators\, health and safety professionals\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the program\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the anatomy of a nurse tank and toolbar\nChoose appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)\nMake use of a safety inspection process\nDescribe safety measures to follow during anhydrous transport and application\nApply rural roadway safety measures\nDescribe hitching and unhitching safety\nPlan and utilize basic first aid/emergency procedures\nLocate hazard communication plan and emergency action plan resources\n\n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

According to the World Health Organization\, more than half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens during the past decade. Farmers and farm workers have higher levels of risk for contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their exposure to animals. Prevention is the best defense. Understanding how the disease transmission process works\, building a team and effectively communicating within that team are essential in preventing the spread of zoonotic disease. Women working in agriculture should be aware of the following special considerations during pregnancy; which animals are common carriers of zoonotic disease\, symptoms of the disease(s)\, prevention measures\, and pregnancy risks. \nObjectives– At the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to:\n-Define zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission\n-Identify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population\n-Discuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects for reproductive health\n-Locate a minimum of three recommended educational resources for use in training an agricultural workforce \nIntended Audience: Supervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\,  health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nProducers: This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, horticulture\, or other livestock. \n  \n This training has expired.

The National Safety Council\, in a 2019 publication of Safety and Health\, reported OSHA documentation indicating the lack of a full range of PPE\, as well as employers’ limited knowledge of PPE designed for women\, as some of the reasons for the difficulty.  The focus of this training is on anhydrous ammonia safety during transport and application\, including the anatomy of the nurse tank and toolbar\, safety inspection processes\, hitching\, and unhitching safety\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, rural roadway safety\, and first aid/emergency procedures.  Hazard communication and emergency action plans will also be addressed. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the program\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the anatomy of a nurse tank and toolbar\nChoose appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)\nMake use of a safety inspection process\nDescribe safety measures to follow during anhydrous transport and application\nApply rural roadway safety measures\nDescribe hitching and unhitching safety\nPlan and utilize basic first aid/emergency procedures\nLocate hazard communication plan and emergency action plan resources\n\nIntended Audience: Farm/Ranch owners and operators\, health and safety professionals\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/webinar-anhydrous-ammonia-safety-for-farmworkers/ CATEGORIES:Hazards,OSHA Standards,Personal Protective Equipment,Pesticide & Chemical Safety ORGANIZER;CN="Dan Neenan%2C MBA%2C Paramedic":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220310T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220310T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T131354 CREATED:20220211T221652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220311T180044Z UID:6594-1646913600-1646917200@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Appropriate PPE for Women in Agriculture DESCRIPTION:Summary: Agriculture is a hazardous industry associated with many occupational injuries and diseases. Workers may be exposed to various types of occupational hazards simultaneously\, possibly increasing the risk of adverse health outcomes. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for ensuring a safe working environment in agriculture. It is essential to utilize PPE that meets safety standards\, is appropriate for your work\, and is the proper fit. PPE is often designed with men in mind\, making adequate fit and function problematic for women in agriculture. \nThis training will address the different hazards in agricultural work and the appropriate PPE for women. Additionally\, this training will review how to conduct both a respirator fit test and a fit check (seal check) procedure. This presentation aims to guide the selection and effectiveness of PPE worn by women in the agricultural field. \nIntended Audience: Producers – This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers\, including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, poultry\, or other livestock. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Although illness from exposure to heat is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal. Agriculture is an industry where workers have suffered heat-related illnesses. Specific groups within the agricultural community\, including pregnant women\, older workers\, and young children\, could have elevated risks related to prolonged heat and humidity exposure. However\, with proper information and preventative action\, heat-related illness can be avoided for all populations in the agricultural community. \nThis training will identify the warning signs of heat-related illness and discuss prevention strategies\, including protective clothing and equipment to protect agricultural workers from the risks associated with prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-37171-SH1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Generational family operations frequently include the aging parents\, the living legends of agriculture. Farmers and ranchers self-identify good health with the ability to work. The normal aging process slows down one’s ability to engage in meaningful activities physically and mentally\, essentially to continue working. Swirl in the postmenopausal issues incurred by the female farmer\, and a myriad of health hazards arise. \nUnlike men\, who experience a gradual loss of bone mass as they age\, women will lose over 30% of their bone mass in the first five years after menopause. Agriculture is a hazardous and uncertain profession. Women are working well past the age of menopause. Training measures should focus on avoiding common risk factors and preventative actions to decrease the likelihood of an injury. Workplace and home safety are achievable. We will also address other age-related changes such as vision\, hearing\, and sleep disturbance. Every member of the family operation will benefit from learning creative strategies and solutions to help the aging in-place seniors achieve wellness and self-fulfillment.\n \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-37171-SH1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Among them are ticks\, which are small bloodsucking insects. The deer tick (also known as the black-legged tick) is found mainly in the Eastern and upper Midwestern regions of the U.S. It can cause conditions such as Lyme disease – the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. This webinar will cover the things you need to know to prevent tick bites when working outdoors\, how to remove a tick if bitten\, as well as the symptoms that can result from tick bites that may indicate Lyme Disease. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for Ag professionals\, educators\, and individuals involved in working and recreation outdoors. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nGain an understanding of tick-borne disease control measures to reduce exposure risks among ag workers.\nDescribe Lyme Disease and its regional variation.\nDescribe symptoms of the different types of Lyme Disease.\nIdentify workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities for the workplace.\n\n Watch the Recording Here \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-36995-HA1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

According to the World Health Organization\, over half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens in the past decade. Farmers and farmworkers have a higher risk of contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their animal exposure. \nPrevention is the best defense. Understanding how the disease transmission process works\, building a team\, and effectively communicating within that team is essential in preventing the spread of zoonotic disease. Women working in agriculture should be aware of the following special considerations during pregnancy: which animals are common carriers of zoonotic disease\, symptoms of the disease(s)\, prevention measures\, and pregnancy risks. \nIntended Audience:  Supervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals\, including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns\, and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nProducers: This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers\, including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, horticulture\, or other livestock. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
