    Area of Science:

    • Agricultural Safety and Health
    • Occupational Health Education
    • Extension Services

    Background:

    • Farms present significant, yet often unaddressed, occupational health and safety hazards for workers.
    • Reaching farm workers with vital safety information has historically been challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement an educational program to increase farmer awareness of occupational health and safety hazards.
    • To create accessible information packages for agricultural professionals to disseminate to farmers.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 'New Directions' funding.
    • Developed modular educational units focusing on specific hazards (e.g., noise, airborne substances, machinery repair).
    • Included supplementary materials like slides, audio cassettes, instructor guides, pre/post tests, and discussion questions.

    Main Results:

    • Information was packaged for effective use by county agents, Vo-Ag teachers, and chemical dealers.
    • Workshops were conducted statewide to train instructors on using the educational materials.
    • The program aimed to increase awareness among farmers regarding workplace dangers.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program provides a structured approach to educating farmers on health and safety.
    • Utilizing existing agricultural outreach networks facilitates the dissemination of critical safety information.
    • The modular format and instructor training enhance the program's adaptability and effectiveness.
