SUMMARY:Webinar: Musculoskeletal & Ergonomic Safety for Forest Workers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Forest workers face unique ergonomic challenges due to their exposure to extreme environmental conditions\, heavy workload\, and dangerous tools and machines. The forest sector has one of the highest rates of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)\, almost 100 times higher than the industrial targets the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) set. This program is intended to help forest workers identify ergonomic issues leading to musculoskeletal injuries and discover resources to aid in injury treatment and prevention. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n1. Identify work site hazards and potential resulting musculoskeletal injuries. \n2. Identify three initiatives aimed at reducing risks related to musculoskeletal injuries. \n3. Locate evidence-based resources in the forestry health and safety field that address ergonomic security. \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. \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: 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: The Healing Capacity of Honey Bees: Veterans Using Beekeeping as a Modality to Achieve Positive Mental Health Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Veterans deal with a whole host of disabilities\, traumas\, and transitional issues following military service. Agriculture can serve as a solution to many veteran issues through professional training to support career goals and therapeutic activities to support overall wellness of the veteran and their families. Crosscutting programs like Heroes to Hives seek to address these multifaceted needs through professional training in beekeeping and transpersonal wellness practices within the course that seek to utilize bees and the interaction with them as modalities for positive health outcomes. In this session\, we will discuss how Heroes to Hives delivers wellness opportunities and practices to their students. \nIntended Audience: Health Care Providers\, Ag Educators\, and Veteran Service Providers \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nParticipants will learn about the Heroes to Hives program’s integrative training program.\nParticipants will understand the value of integrating transpersonal practices into agricultural settings for wellness.\nParticipants will learn how collaboration with the VA can lead to new wellness opportunities for veterans using VA care.\nParticipants will learn about the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program’s Professional Development grant opportunity.\n\n Watch the Recording Here

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
