SUMMARY:Webinar: Crashes Involving Agricultural Vehicles in the Southwest Region
DESCRIPTION:Crashes Involving Agricultural Vehicles in the Southwest Region\nSummary: Motor vehicle crashes are among the top reasons that workers are injured in agriculture. From an occupational safety and health perspective\, rural roadways present unique challenges to stakeholders engaged in crash and injury prevention. This session provides an overview of the key issues relevant to rural roadway safety within the context of agricultural vehicles and logging trucks and proven methods for reducing rural roadway crashes and their severity. In addition\, the magnitude of the crash problem and trends will be presented for the Southwest Region (i.e.\, AR\, LA\, NM\, OK\, and TX) using data from the Southwest Agricultural Crash Surveillance System (SW AgCRASH). \nIntended Audience: health and safety professionals\, farmers\, ranchers\, ag workers\, healthcare providers\, and others interested in rural roadway safety \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n– Describe the frequency of crashes involving agricultural vehicles in the Southwest Regional over time.\n– Identify the top factors contributing to roadway crashes involving agricultural vehicles in the Southwest Region.\n– Identity potential countermeasures or ways to reduce crashes involving agricultural vehicles or their severity. \n Watch Now  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: ATV-UTV Safety for Women
DESCRIPTION:ATV-UTV Safety for Women\nSummary: Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at very high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries\, and farming is one of few industries in which family members (who often share the work and live on the premises) are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries. ATVs and UTVs are found on all types of farms; they are useful for agricultural work\, but they also pose serious hazards to operators and passengers. Studies indicate that injured ATV/UTV passengers are more commonly female and youth and that helmet use is significantly lower for passengers. The focus of the training would be on ATV/UTV maintenance and safety features\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, load and weight considerations\, operation on public roadways\, as well as employee training and considerations for working alone. \nIntended Audience: 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\, poultry\, or other livestock. \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. \n Watch Now  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Protecting and Promoting the Health of Young Agricultural Workers: The Role of Employers and Supervisors
DESCRIPTION:Protecting and Promoting the Health of Young Agricultural Workers: The Role of Employers and Supervisors\nSummary: There are many benefits for hiring youth in agriculture\, including the development of job skills\, increased self-esteem\, responsibility\, and earned income. However\, adolescents and young adults working in agriculture (under 25 years old) are at increased risk for occupational injuries. In addition to traditional workplace hazards\, developmental differences (both physical and cognitive)\, inexperience\, fatigue\, and distracted behaviors increase the risk of injury. Employers and supervisors play an active role in protecting these workers. Communicating effectively with young workers about health and safety hazards that impact injury risk is key to protecting this population. This webinar will describe specific skills and practices that can be implemented in the workplace\, on family farms\, and in agricultural classrooms. Intended Audience: Employers\, Parents\, Educators \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify risk factors that increase injury risk among adolescents and young adults.\nRecognize the role that supervisors (i.e.\, employers\, parents\, educators) play in protecting young workers.\nIdentify resources that can be used to address both traditional and non-traditional workplace hazards.\nApply communication skills and workplace practices that can be utilized in the workplace\, on the family farm\, or in agricultural classrooms.\n\n Watch Now  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: ¡Basta! Working Together to Prevent Sexual Harassment in the Agricultural Workplace
DESCRIPTION:!Basta! Working Together to Prevent Sexual Harassment in the Agricultural Workplace\nSummary: Workplace sexual harassment (WSH) in agriculture is a persistent and pervasive problem that threatens employees’ safety and well-being and damages organizational climate and trajectory. Until recently\, tailored trainings about WSH and resources specific to the agricultural sector and its audiences were lacking. Over the past several years\, researchers and partners with the Pacific Northwest Agriculture Safety and Health (PNASH) Center in Washington State have worked with a number of agricultural and industry stakeholders (e.g. farmworkers\, growers\, government leaders and agencies\, legal experts\, advocates\, etc.)\, to explore the nature of WSH and to develop relative education\, resources\, and training. \nWhile education alone will not stop WSH\, it’s an important strategy in a multi-faceted approach to prevention. In this webinar\, participants will be introduced to The Basta! Prevent Sexual Harassment in Agriculture training\, toolkit\, and video. The Basta! training uses an evidence-based\, community-engaged approach to help employees\, HR staff\, and growers prevent and address sexual harassment in the agricultural workplace. \n  \n Watch Now  \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\, more than half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens during the past decade. Farmers and farmworkers 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 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. 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. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
