People employed in agriculture and related industries in rural areas may face unique environmental and occupational exposures\, besides genetic and behavioral risk factors\, that can cause cancer. \nRural barriers to accessing healthcare may compound the effects of environmental and occupational exposures in these settings. Understandable and actionable risk communications can help address existing rural cancer disparities. In this presentation\, the presenters will provide tips on how to integrate evidence-based environmental health and cancer prevention information into rural and agricultural work. Participants will learn how to better communicate risk\, answer questions\, and strengthen environmental health literacy in their communities. \nIntended Audience: Individuals with an interest in rural and agricultural communities are encouraged to attend. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to…​ \n\nDefine environmental health literacy and its role in community health promotion and advocacy.\nIdentify evidence-based resources on environmental factors that can increase cancer risk in an agricultural setting and apply them to your own health and safety education materials.\nFind the overlap in goals and communication strategies between cancer control and agricultural safety and health professionals.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n– Caroline Powell\, BA\, MS\, Candidate University of Iowa\, Environmental Outreach Coordinator\, Iowa Cancer Consortium \n– Audrey E.

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.

Women in all industries\, including agriculture\, have trouble finding and purchasing respiratory protective equipment that fits and is safe and comfortable to 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.  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:20211213T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20211213T160000 DTSTAMP:20260430T090326 CREATED:20211029T153717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241219T213006Z UID:5399-1639407600-1639411200@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Say What? Protecting Your Hearing (Invest in Your Health: Train the Trainer Series) DESCRIPTION:Summary: This Invest in Your Health: Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders\, and others who work with young adults. The young ag producer works and plays in an environment with noise hazards. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is common (and preventable) but unfortunately\, the use of hearing protection among youth is not. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the program\, participants/educators will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the importance of preventing noise-induced hearing loss.\nUse the Invest in Your Health training materials.\nKnow where to find additional hearing loss prevention educational materials and resources.\n\nWebinar participants will earn a digital badge and access to the Say What? guidebook that contains classroom activities for students ages 14-23. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

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.
