SUMMARY:Youth Working in Agriculture: Keeping Them Safe While They Learn and Grow
DESCRIPTION:Work is inherently good for children and youth – and agriculture offers many opportunities for them to develop work skills\, learn responsibility and leadership\, and gain an appreciation for farming and related industries. 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.

SUMMARY:Respiratory Protection Program Adapted to Grain Handling Operations
DESCRIPTION:The OSHA respiratory standard requires a written respiratory protection program for situations in which permissible exposure levels (PELs) of airborne contaminants could be exceeded or when the employer requires use of respirators by workers. This training will assist agriculture-based employers who require respirator use to comply with the OSHA respiratory protection program standard. Training includes written worksite specific procedures\, program evaluation\, selection of an appropriate respirator approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)\, training\, fit testing\, inspection\, cleaning\, maintenance\, and storage\, medical evaluation\, work area surveillance and air quality standards. \nAt the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize the diverse respiratory hazards unique to agricultural and the justification for a comprehensive respiratory program.\nIdentify the OSHA respirator standards that apply to an agricultural setting.\nUnderstand key components of an effective respiratory protection program.\nLearn how to access resources\, templates\, medical evaluations\, and further trainings to effectively implement a respiratory program.\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:Addressing the Epidemic of ATV Injuries and Deaths: Safety Training Materials and Educational Demonstrations
DESCRIPTION:ATVs are used in agriculture as a substitute for pick-up trucks\, horses\, and just moving about. In 2015\, there were 340 deaths and over 97\,000 injuries reported involving ATVs that were being used for recreation and work purposes. This webinar will discuss the burden of ATV incidents and provide links to ATV safety training materials that are currently available. Information on ATV safety simulators will be presented. A blueprint will be provided to participants for creating a low-cost\, portable\, hands-on ATV safety demonstration. \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the burden of ATV injuries and fatalities in the agricultural community.\nBe able to access up-to-date educational materials on the safe use of ATVs and on proper personal protective equipment.\nUnderstand how ATV simulators can be used as an educational tool to convey safety messages.\nHave all the information needed to create a low-cost ATV demonstration.\n\n This training has expired.

SUMMARY:Children and Youth: Living\, Working and Playing Safely on Farms
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discuss “Putting Farm Safety Into Practice\,” featuring the newly released Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines\, which help parents and supervisors assign age appropriate tasks to youth. 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.

SUMMARY:Protecting Young Adults in the Agricultural Workforce
DESCRIPTION: In 2014\, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 253\,000 young workers between the ages of 16 and 24 worked in agriculture. 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.

SUMMARY:Agritourism: The Next Frontier in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Agritourism can be a great way to add supplemental income to your farm but it does come with an additional set of responsibilities. If you are currently running an agritourism operation or are thinking about making this an addition to your farm\, you should become familiar with the Compendium of Measures to Prevent Disease Associated with Animals in Public Settings. Following the guidelines outlined in the Compendium will help you make your farm as safe as possible for visitors and protect your assets. \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand what zoonotic diseases are\, how they are transmitted\, and why they are a potential problem for your farm.\nBe aware of the national best practices outlined in the Compendium and available resources to help you follow these guidelines.\nApply these best practices to your farm in order to reduce the risk of illness or injury to visitors.\nUnderstand that the risk will never be zero.\n\n This training has expired.
