SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: 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/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. \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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Choose appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)\n2. Make use of a safety inspection process\n3. Describe safety measures to follow during anhydrous transport and application\n4. Plan and utilize basic first aid/emergency procedures \nPresenter: Dan Neenan\, MBA\, Paramedic\, Manager\, National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) \n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-99084-SH0 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: Pediatric Farm-Related Injuries: Safeguarding Children Who Visit or Live on Farms
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Injuries are the most common cause of death for children and adolescents\, and farms and ranches present many unique hazards to youth. During this presentation\, we will discuss many of these including augers\, grain bins\, gravity boxes\, tractors\, power take-offs (PTOs)\, manure pits\, chemical exposures\, animals\, and gasoline-powered pressure sprayers. One of the most common causes of serious injuries and deaths to youth on farms and ranches are the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs) like all-terrain vehicles (ATVs)\, utility task vehicles (UTVs)\, and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs). The safety concerns and prevention strategies related to ORVs will be a featured segment of the presentation. A general overview of how the growth and development of youth affect the risk of injury\, and the role healthcare providers can assume to impact injury prevention will be discussed. \nIntended Audience: Anyone working with youth in agriculture\, and rural healthcare providers \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Name at least four specific safety hazards on farms and express how one might counsel families to prevent injuries from those hazards.\n2. Describe what a PTO is and how one avoids injuries associated with them.\n3. State at least two ways to prevent injury when operating tractors.\n4. Convey how one would attempt the rescue of someone caught in a grain bin\, or manage an extremity caught in an auger.\n5. Explain at least three reasons why off-road vehicles like all-terrain vehicles and utility task vehicles are not designed to be used on roads. \nPresenter: Charles Jennissen\, MD\, Clinical Professor\, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine \n Watch the Recording Here  \n

SUMMARY:Using Naloxone to Reverse Opioid Overdose in the Agricultural Workplace: Information for Employers and Workers
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the U.S. Surgeon General called for increased awareness and availability of naloxone\, the opioid antagonist\, to reverse the effects of opioid overdose. Despite the rise in the dispensing of naloxone\, there is a significant gap in our response across all sectors of society. In the rural parts of our country\, where emergency response times can be dangerously long\, developing a workplace naloxone availability and use program could ultimately save lives. This webinar will share information from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to help employers and workers understand the risk of opioid overdose and the role of naloxone. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss what medications are prescription and illicit opioids and what is OUD (Opioid Use Disorder)\nDescribe the dangers of opioids in the workplace and OUD for safety-sensitive occupations\nDiscuss the role of naloxone in opioid overdose\nDiscuss the implementation of workplace naloxone use programs\nUnderstand the administration of the dosage forms available for naloxone used in an emergency\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

SUMMARY:Invest in Your Health: Cultivating a Healthy Mind
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Stigma exists across all age groups for those struggling with mental health. 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.

SUMMARY:Assessment of Opioid Misuse Risk Among Farmers in the Clinical Setting
DESCRIPTION:Prescription opioids are often the first-line therapy to treat chronic and acute pain among farmers. Prescribing opioids to farmer populations that may not seek regular treatment or have access to alternative therapies increases the risk for potential opioid misuse. Properly assessing for these characteristics among other abuse or addiction risk factors\, is critical in providing treatment that is both appropriate and effective. The training module will seek to provide insight on misuse risk factors among farmers to better inform healthcare providers on warning signs in this specific cohort. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nList potential risk factors for opioid misuse among farmers.\nUnderstand proper opioid misuse assessment strategies.\nIdentify effective alternatives for treating chronic and acute pain among farmers\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

SUMMARY:Zoonotic Disease and Pregnancy: A Deeper Dive
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Zoonotic Diseases are transmitted between farm animals and humans and can pose additional risks to those who are pregnant. 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.

SUMMARY: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 an 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 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.
