Working outdoors makes people more likely to become dehydrated and experience heat-related illness or heat stress. High temperatures reduce work capacity and may lead to heat stress and dehydration. Although exposure to heat stress is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal.  Similarly\, cold weather can reduce dexterity\, blood flow\, muscle strength\, and balance. Hypothermia\, frostbite\, trench foot\, and chilblains are all illnesses and injuries caused by cold stress. However\, forestry workers can avoid heat-related illness and cold stress with proper information and preventative action. This presentation will explore both weather-related conditions and their impact on outdoor workers. \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: After the training\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine Heat Stress\, Cold Stress\, and their related conditions.\nIdentify vulnerable populations and critical warning signs for interventions.\nShare essential resources for Workplace Safety Practices.\n\n Watch the Recording Here \nThis material was produced under grant #SH-000099-SH3 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Prevention of Heat Related Illness in Agriculture Train the Trainer DESCRIPTION:Last updated on March 20th\, 2024 at 05:02 pm [Illustration: Word cloud\, with the most prominent phrase being “heat wave\,” along with dozens of varying sizes of words and phrases\, including\, “infant heat stroke\,” “elderly\,” and “heat index.”] \nSummary: Agriculture is ranked as one of the most dangerous occupations and involves workers and family members of all ages. Heat-related illness occurs when the body’s temperature gets too high and the body’s ability to dissipate heat through sweating and other methods is overcome. Several conditions can result from this such as heat cramps\, heat exhaustion\, or heatstroke. In 2014\, 253\,000 young workers between the ages of 16-23 were employed in agriculture. In production agriculture\, it is common to work in a hot environment and/ or in direct sunlight. Every year\, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat\, and some even die. Heat-related illnesses\, while potentially deadly\, are easily preventable. \nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the various types of heat-related illnesses\nIdentify warning signs of life-threatening exposures\nLearn immediate care procedures\nAccess educational resources\n\n Watch the Recording Here URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/invest-in-your-health-stay-cool-prevention-of-heat-related-illness-in-agriculture-2/ CATEGORIES:Hazards,Health Education and Promotion,Heat Related Illnesses,Youth Safety and Health ORGANIZER;CN="Knesha Rose-Davison%2C MPH%2C CPH":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240118T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T180255 CREATED:20231211T144948Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240119T160041Z UID:17300-1705579200-1705582800@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Preventing Workplace Violence for Forestry Workers DESCRIPTION:Last updated on March 20th\, 2024 at 05:02 pm Summary: Forestry and logging workers are exposed to a range of biological hazards\, extreme weather\, accidents\, and – especially for women– assault.

According to the World Health Organization\, over half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens in the past decade. Farmers and farmworkers have a higher risk of contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their animal exposure. \nPrevention 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. \nProducers: 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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

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 URL:https://www.agrisafe.org/event/webinar-a-review-of-the-literature-for-forestry-health-and-safety-the-last-ten-years/ CATEGORIES:Forestry ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.agrisafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Logs-with-Douglas-Fir-Background-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Knesha Rose-Davison%2C MPH%2C CPH":MAILTO:info@agrisafe.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231011T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231011T130000 DTSTAMP:20260520T180255 CREATED:20230725T172611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231211T145224Z UID:15820-1697025600-1697029200@www.agrisafe.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Preventing Workplace Violence for Forestry Workers DESCRIPTION:Last updated on March 20th\, 2024 at 05:02 pm 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.

According to the World Health Organization\, over half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens in the past decade. Farmers and farmworkers have a higher risk of contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their animal exposure. \nPrevention 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. \nProducers: 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. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

One hundred years ago\, farmers identifying as Black or mixed race made up about 14 percent of total ag producers. According to a 2017 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) census\, of the 3.4 million farmers across the country\, 1.3%\, or only 45\,508\, identify as Black compared to 95% who identify as Caucasian. This session will address significant challenges of Black\, mixed race\, and BIPOC ag producers in the United States\, programs to address racism and build equity\, identify critical concerns in health and safety\, including mental health\, and share community-based resources for rural residents\, growers\, farmers\, farmworkers\, and owner/operators. \nIntended Audience: Agricultural farmers\, ranchers\, supervisors\, farmworkers\, farmworker organizations\, health and safety professionals\, trainers\, promotores\, rural healthcare providers\, extension agents\, and others who work in agriculture. \nObjectives: \n\nDiscuss issues of racism and land loss faced by Black and mixed-race producers in the United States.\nIdentify four emerging health challenges to ag workers in rural/agricultural communities.\nShare community-based resources that provide information for rural residents\, growers\, farmers\, farmworkers\, and owner/operators.\n\n Watch the Recording Here \n Disclaimer: Support of this webinar on Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility is due to the generous support of ButcherBox.

Although illness from exposure to heat is preventable\, thousands become sick from occupational heat exposure every year\, and some cases are fatal. Agriculture is an industry where workers have suffered heat-related illnesses. Specific groups within the agricultural community\, including pregnant women\, older workers\, and young children\, could have elevated risks related to prolonged heat and humidity exposure. However\, with proper information and preventative action\, heat-related illness can be avoided for all populations in the agricultural community. \nThis training will identify the warning signs of heat-related illness and discuss prevention strategies\, including protective clothing and equipment to protect agricultural workers from the risks associated with prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-37171-SH1 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
