Learn how you can safeguard children and youth who live, work and play on farms and ranches by registering for the three-part Child Agricultural Safety and Health Workshop to be held online September 14, 21 and 28.
The interactive workshop is ideal for anyone who wishes to improve their knowledge and dissemination of child agricultural safety and health, including professionals from farm organizations, insurance, agribusiness, banking, healthcare, Extension, agricultural education, public health and media.
The sessions is being hosted by the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, part of the Marshfield Clinic's National Farm Medicine Center. They are being co-hosted with 10 other agricultural centers funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which are located throughout the United States.
Throughout the workshop series, participants will be able to understand the leading causes of injuries to children who are either working or playing on farms; describe interventions most likely to be effective in preventing childhood farm injuries and illnesses; and identify their unique role in helping farm children grow up happy and healthy.
