Workplace violence is violence or the threat of violence against workers. This training will review the many forms of workplace violence among co-workers, including sexual harassment. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) states that “each employer shall furnish to each of his employees’ employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.” In this presentation, AgriSafe will focus on educating forestry employees and their employers on reporting violent incidents to authorities, informing employees of their legal rights, and safe work practices.
Intended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging, including fallers, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers, logging equipment operators, sawing machine setters, operators and tenders, and truck drivers.
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to understand…
1. The scope and nature of workplace violence occurring in the forestry sector today.
2. Employers’ responsibilities in addressing workplace violence and implementing preventive measures.
3. Effective strategies and interventions can make the workplace safer and more responsive to employee victims.

Summary: Animal depopulation is associated with distressing psychological impacts on people. These impacts affect many stakeholders including veterinarians, producers, public health officials, and others who make decisions about and carry out depopulation. The Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool (ADRCT) is a five-question public health protocol for stakeholders who are preparing for, participating in, and recovering from animal depopulation.
ADRCT questions have been developed in veterinary clinical environments over the last 20 years. Over the last 3 years, through USDA APHIS National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program funding awarded to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, the tool has been reviewed by experts in human traumatology and data collected from depopulation stakeholders. This webinar will review the tool including how to use it and preliminary feedback about the tool gathered thus far.
Intended Audience: Veterinarians, physicians, nurses, Extension staff, agricultural safety, and health professionals, farm managers, farm workers, and anyone else who may be involved with a depopulation event in their community.
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…

Understand the prevalence of trauma-related symptoms after potentially traumatic events
Describe the human stressors of animal depopulation
Know the five questions in the Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool
Be able to apply the Animal Depopulation Resiliency Check-in Tool safely

Webinar: Zoonotic Disease and Pregnancy: A Deeper Dive
2023-08-30 12:00 - 13:00, 2023-11-29 12:00 - 13:00
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, 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.
Prevention 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.
Intended 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.
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, horticulture, or other livestock.
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…

Define zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.
Identify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.
Discuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.
Locate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.

Webinar: Stress Control Strategies for the Forestry and Timber Workforce
2023-09-27 12:00 - 13:00
Summary: Stress can directly impact safety. Whether managing forestry wildfires or working long strenuous days harvesting and hauling timber, the forestry and logging workforce face unique situations that can predispose workers to stress and challenges to mental well-being. The agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting (AgFF) industries has one of highest percentages of deaths by suicide. Key factors contributing to despair and distress include financial losses, chronic illness or pain, a sense of work-life imbalance, and lack of mental health support. And it is common to encounter circumstances beyond their control, such as unpredictable weather patterns, rapidly changing prices, and long workdays sometimes in isolation. Perceived lack of control can lead to helplessness and hopelessness, anxiety, depression, substance use and suicide. This session will explore the topic with a review of specific risk factors, and it will discuss ways to support this workforce in an unpredictable environment.
Intended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging, including fallers, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers, logging equipment operators, sawing machine setters, operators and tenders, and truck drivers.
Objectives: At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to:

Identify the factors that contribute to stress overload in the forestry and timber harvesting occupations.
Relate the effects of stress overload to the safety of the work site and personal life.
Identify strategies for effective stress management to improve safety and quality of life.

Webinar: What Does Postvention Following a Suicide Look Like?
2024-01-24 11:00 - 12:30
Summary: Suicide prevention and intervention are critical public health strategies for an issue that according to current US statistics is ever-increasing. How can we help those left behind and grieving for loved ones who have died by suicide?
AgriSafe is proud to host Dr. Frank Campbell, founder of the National Suicidology Training Center and nationally recognized expert on suicidology. It was due to his more than twenty years of working with those bereaved by suicide that he introduced his Active Postvention Model (APM) most commonly known as the LOSS Team (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors). His work with survivors and victims of trauma has been featured in three Discovery Channel documentaries. Dr. Campbell’s model has been replicated across North America and abroad. In this very special “live only” webinar, Dr. Campbell will discuss the impact of suicide on individuals, communities, and public health. Postvention is one way a community can organize efforts to help the newly bereaved following a suicide and provide support that can change the legacy of suicide for families and agricultural communities. By attending this presentation, you will help us to reduce stigma on a manner of death that continues to grip our nation that leaves most of us confused on how we can respond to those left behind.
Intended Audience: Anyone who is interested in helping those bereaved by suicide
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…

List rural states with the highest rates of suicide
Describe the Active Postvention Model
Recognize the ways that suicide impacts all those touched by a loved one who has died by suicide
