SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: Developing and Implementing a Pilot Agricultural Community Suicide Prevention Program for Farmers and Farm Families
DESCRIPTION:Summary: This presentation describes a pilot community-based suicide prevention program. Eighteen trainers from various farmer-connected groups such as commodity groups\, equipment dealers\, farm safety trainers\, teachers\, ministers\, and rural health nurses obtained credentials as QPR (Question-Persuade-Refer) trainers. Over 450 persons were trained from these constituent groups in an 8-month period of time using training materials customized for the farming community. Using a Community of Practice framework challenges and successes in establishing mutual engagement\, joint enterprise\, a shared repertoire\, and meaning in practice. Program revisions and the next steps forward are discussed. \nIntended Audience: Agricultural Safety & Health Professionals\, Rural Community healthcare workers\, social service professionals\, Agricultural Extension \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to….\n1. Identify unique emotional stressors for farmers and farm families\n2. Understand the basic tenets and approach of the QPR Suicide Prevention Program and adaptions that are appropriate for implementation with farmers and farm families\n3. Understand useful strategies for identifying community partners to build coalitions to support farmer and farm families to access and utilize support services.\n4. Identify elements of the Community of Practice framework for application to the development of community-based farmer mental health support networks. \nPresenter: Joan Mazur\, Ph.D.\, Deputy Director\, Southeast Center for Agricultural Health & Injury Prevention\, University of KY\, College of Agriculture\, Food & Environment. \n Watch the Recording Here  \n

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: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: 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. Farmers and farmworkers have higher levels of risk for contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their exposure to animals. 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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Define zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission\n2. Identify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population\n3. Discuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health\n4. Locate a minimum of three recommended educational resources for use in training an agricultural workforce \nPresenter: Knesha Rose-Davison\, MPH\, Public Health Program Director\, AgriSafe Network \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
