Protege tu cerebro del estrés
No sorprende que la salud de los agricultores esté correlacionada positivamente con la producción de cultivos y la salud de los animales. Pero, ¿qué sucede cuando los mercados oscilan, hay una sequía, los precios de los productos se disparan y no se pueden encontrar buenos empleados? Estrés. Es la reacción del cuerpo ante cualquier cambio que requiera un ajuste o respuesta. El estrés crea reacciones químicas en nuestro cuerpo y se libera cortisol, nuestra sangre se espesa, nuestra presión arterial aumenta entre otros. El estrés crónico puede hacer que su cerebro se encoja debido al flujo constante de cortisol. Esto ilustra claramente por qué necesitamos encontrar formas de liberar cortisol para proteger nuestro cerebro. La ciencia muestra que el estrés continuo puede afectar negativamente: el tamaño de su cerebro y su funcionamiento, la forma en que sus hijos y nietos están genéticamente equipados para manejar los factores estresantes y su susceptibilidad a la depresión o el Alzheimer. Las soluciones no son complicadas pero a menudo se pasan por alto. Michele le ayuda a comprender herramientas como el descanso, el ejercicio, la nutrición y el valor de incluir el manejo del estrés como parte de su negocio.

Preventing Workplace Violence for Forestry Workers
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.
