SUMMARY:Webinar: A Review of the Literature for Forestry Health and Safety: The Last Ten Years
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Foresters and loggers work in the most hazardous industries with high job-related injury\, illness\, and fatality rates. This workforce faces unique environmental exposures\, ergonomic challenges\, and health disparities across all ages. The last comprehensive literature review in forestry health and safety for NIOSH was completed in 2012. Under a NIOSH IPA project\, AgriSafe conducted a forestry health and safety literature review for publications from 2012 to 2022.  \nThe objectives of this review were: \n\nUncover the health and safety issues currently facing the forestry and logging workforce.\nIdentify any new trends or topics in the literature.\nIdentify areas of training and health needs.\nIdentify healthcare access issues impacting the forestry workforce.\n\nFinal results of this project will be shared with the audience. Findings in this project will contribute to NIOSH’s priorities for forestry occupational health and safety and the literature. The literature review will inform and prioritize future forestry training needs through AgriSafe’s OSHA forestry training projects. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nSummarize the findings of the literature review.\nIdentify areas of training and health needs in health and safety for forestry workers.\n\nIntended Audience: This course is intended for agricultural safety/forestry professionals working in the industry\, extension\, academia\, or safety centers and workers in forestry and logging\, including logging owners and first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers. \n Watch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: 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\, 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. \nPrevention 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. \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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Preventing Workplace Violence for Forestry Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forestry and logging workers are exposed to a range of biological hazards\, extreme weather\, accidents\, and – especially for women– assault. 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. \nIntended 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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to understand… \n1. The scope and nature of workplace violence occurring in the forestry sector today. \n2. Employers’ responsibilities in addressing workplace violence and implementing preventive measures. \n3. Effective strategies and interventions can make the workplace safer and more responsive to employee victims. \n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: What Does Postvention Following a Suicide Look Like?
DESCRIPTION: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? \nAgriSafe 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. \nIntended Audience: Anyone who is interested in helping those bereaved by suicide \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nList rural states with the highest rates of suicide\nDescribe the Active Postvention Model\nRecognize the ways that suicide impacts all those touched by a loved one who has died by suicide\nProvide suggested resources for those bereaved by suicide that can help them in their complicated bereavement process\n\nThis session will not be recorded\, so please plan on attending the live webinar if you want to view this session. \nContinuing Education for Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselors: The Louisiana Counseling Association is approved by the Louisiana Licensed Professional Board of Examiners to offer continuing education clock hours. This presentation has been reviewed and approved for 1.5 CE clock hours for Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselors. \n\n\n      \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: 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\, 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. \nPrevention 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. \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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultivating a Healthy Mind - Mental Wellness for Youth Train the Trainer
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 Watch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Mental Health and Suicide on US Farms: Muckville Movie Viewing and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join AgriSafe for a viewing of the Muckville documentary (approximately 20 minutes) followed by a live question and answer session with Chris and Eve Pawelski\, and film director Jeff Mertz. \nChris almost ran out of time. As a 4th-generation onion farmer on the post-glacial black dirt of Goshen\, NY\, Chris is just one of millions of farmers in America facing the unnecessarily Sisyphusian task of earning a living. “Muckville” takes us on a journey through time on the Pawelski farm\, from Polish immigration in the early 20th century\, through the onset of climate change-driven crop failures in the 1990s and subsequent pitfalls of US agriculture policy\, to Chris’s resulting existential crisis and suicidal ideation. \nThis short documentary provides rare insight into the ongoing mental health epidemic on American farms\, and paints a delicate and emotional portrait of resilience and love amid unbeatable odds. Directed\, photographed\, and edited by Jeff Mertz / Moonbow Imaging. \nThis session has already occurred and was not recorded. You can view the Muckville documentary by clicking the button below (you will need to create a free profile on Hudsy to view the film). \n View the Film Here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Invest in Your Health- Stay Cool! 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

SUMMARY:Webinar: Stress Control Strategies for the Forestry and Timber Workforce
DESCRIPTION: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 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 discuss ways to support this workforce in an unpredictable environment. \nIntended 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. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the training\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the factors that contribute to stress overload in the forestry and timber harvesting occupations.\nRelate the effects of stress overload to the safety of the work site and personal life.\nIdentify effective strategies for effective stress management to improve safety and quality of life.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
