Prevention of Heat Related Illness in Agriculture Train the Trainer DESCRIPTION:[Illustration: Word cloud\, with the most prominent phrase being “heat wave\,” along with dozens of varying sizes of words and phrases\, including\, “infant heat stroke\,” “elderly\,” and “heat index.”] \nSummary: Agriculture is ranked as one of the most dangerous occupations and involves workers and family members of all ages. Heat-related illness occurs when the body’s temperature gets too high and the body’s ability to dissipate heat through sweating and other methods is overcome. Several conditions can result from this such as heat cramps\, heat exhaustion\, or heatstroke. In 2014\, 253\,000 young workers between the ages of 16-23 were employed in agriculture. In production agriculture\, it is common to work in a hot environment and/ or in direct sunlight. Every year\, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat\, and some even die. Heat-related illnesses\, while potentially deadly\, are easily preventable. \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: At the end of this webinar participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the various types of heat-related illnesses\nIdentify warning signs of life-threatening exposures\nLearn immediate care procedures\nAccess educational resources\n\n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/invest-in-your-health-stay-cool-prevention-of-heat-related-illness-in-agriculture-2/ CATEGORIES:Hazards,Health Education and Promotion,Heat Related Illnesses,Youth Safety and Health ORGANIZER;CN="Knesha Rose-Davison%2C MPH%2C CPH":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240313T160000 DTSTAMP:20260510T113030 CREATED:20240228T001039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T211431Z UID:18393-1710342000-1710345600@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Invest in Your Health - Cover Up!

Navigation of the teen years in everyday situations can create angst and uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to express. Adding mental illness and mental crisis to a teen or young adult’s typical growth and development makes struggling with emotions\, relationships\, academic success\, and safety more challenging. According to the CDC\, rates of depression and anxiety climb significantly during the ages of 12-17. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youths in the United States. This module opens an introductory discussion of mental health among teens and young adults with guidance from an adult educator. Focus is placed on decreasing stigma\, improving mental health literacy\, and positive coping skills for teens and young adults. The module showcases a high school agricultural student’s understanding of the agricultural mental health crisis\, helping to frame mental health distress to academic and future career success. \nObjectives: After the module\, teens and young adults will be able to…. \n\nUnderstand the relationship of mental health to physical health and academic or career success\nRecognize basic signs or symptoms that present when young adults experience mental stress\nIdentify healthy and unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with mental distress\nCommunicate their concerns when suspecting they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis\n\nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/cultivating-a-healthy-mind-mental-wellness-for-youth-train-the-trainer/ CATEGORIES:Cognition,Health Education and Promotion,Mental Health,Youth Safety and Health ORGANIZER;CN="Tara Haskins%2C DNP%2C MSN%2C RN%2C AHN-BC":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221017 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221022 DTSTAMP:20260510T113030 CREATED:20220901T181027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220914T173033Z UID:11433-1665964800-1666396799@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Invest in Your Health Week: Tools for Ag Educators DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nRegister for the entire week and attend as many webinars as you can!

However\, adolescents and young adults working in agriculture (under 25 years old) are at increased risk for occupational injuries. In addition to traditional workplace hazards\, developmental differences (both physical and cognitive)\, inexperience\, fatigue\, and distracted behaviors increase the risk of injury. Employers and supervisors play an active role in protecting these workers. Communicating effectively with young workers about health and safety hazards that impact injury risk is key to protecting this population. This webinar will describe specific skills and practices that can be implemented in the workplace\, on family farms\, and in agricultural classrooms. Intended Audience: Employers\, Parents\, Educators \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify risk factors that increase injury risk among adolescents and young adults.\nRecognize the role that supervisors (i.e.\, employers\, parents\, educators) play in protecting young workers.\nIdentify resources that can be used to address both traditional and non-traditional workplace hazards.\nApply communication skills and workplace practices that can be utilized in the workplace\, on the family farm\, or in agricultural classrooms.\n\n Watch Now \n  URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/webinar-protecting-and-promoting-the-health-of-young-agricultural-workers-the-role-of-employers-and-supervisors/ CATEGORIES:National Farm Safety and Health Week,Youth Safety and Health END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20211213T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20211213T160000 DTSTAMP:20260510T113030 CREATED:20211029T153717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241219T213006Z UID:5399-1639407600-1639411200@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Say What?

Navigation of the teen years in everyday situations can create angst and uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to express. Adding mental illness and mental crisis to a teen or young adult’s typical growth and development makes struggling with emotions\, relationships\, academic success\, and safety more challenging. According to the CDC\, rates of depression and anxiety climb significantly during the ages of 12-17. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youths in the United States. This module opens an introductory discussion of mental health among teens and young adults with guidance from an adult educator. Focus is placed on decreasing stigma\, improving mental health literacy\, and positive coping skills for teens and young adults. The module showcases a high school agricultural student’s understanding of the agricultural mental health crisis\, helping to frame mental health distress to academic and future career success. \nObjectives: After the module\, teens and young adults will be able to…. \n\nUnderstand the relationship of mental health to physical health and academic or career success\nRecognize basic signs or symptoms that present when young adults experience mental stress\nIdentify healthy and unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with mental distress\nCommunicate their concerns when suspecting they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis\n\nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

We also know that agricultural work can be dangerous\, and that many youth are injured or killed while working in agricultural jobs. \nJoin us as we discuss strategies to help safeguard our youth\, such as assigning age appropriate tasks\, providing good supervision\, addressing hazards\, and providing personal protective equipment. We’ll provide you with links to free resources and information you can use to keep youth safe while working on the farm or ranch\, enabling them to learn and grow from their work experience. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

We’ll also discuss non-working children and visitors to farms and ranches\, and ways to keep them safe. \nFarms and ranches are great places to live\, work and play\, and there are numerous benefits to growing up on them. However\, agricultural worksites are among the most dangerous in the U.S.\, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities to youth. For working youth\, too many of these injuries and deaths are the result of performing work that does not match their abilities. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Young workers who live and work on farms are also exposed to potentially dangerous farm-related hazards. Farm operators who hire youth to work on their farm should be aware of all applicable child labor laws. \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify physical and psychological developmental factors to consider when employing and training young adults in the agricultural sector. \nDefine agricultural hazards and exposures that increase the risk of injury and illness among the young worker.\nDescribe regulatory standards that can promote a safe work environment for young employees. \nCreate action steps that can reduce agricultural injury and illness. \n\n This training has expired.
