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. 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. \n Watch the Recording Here  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers\nSummary: Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is an effective nitrogen crop fertilizer used throughout the Midwest and beyond.  Anhydrous ammonia is potentially dangerous\, as it seeks water from the nearest source\, which may be the human body – especially the eyes\, lungs\, and skin because of their high moisture content.  Few problems occur when anhydrous ammonia is handled properly and applied as intended.  However\, it is important for all individuals working with this type of fertilizer to understand the potential health risks\, necessary safety precautions\, and proper response in the event of exposure. \nPersonal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the last lines of defense for workers against Anhydrous Ammonia injuries. 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

SUMMARY:Webinar: Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is an effective nitrogen crop fertilizer used throughout the Midwest and beyond.  Anhydrous ammonia is potentially dangerous\, as it seeks water from the nearest source\, which may be the human body – especially the eyes\, lungs\, and skin because of their high moisture content.  Few problems occur when anhydrous ammonia is handled properly and applied as intended.  However\, it is important for all individuals working with this type of fertilizer to understand the potential health risks\, necessary safety precautions\, and proper response in the event of exposure. \nPersonal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the last lines of defense for workers against Anhydrous Ammonia injuries. 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 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. \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\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
