Resources for Protecting Young Agricultural Workers

Do you train, supervise, or hire young agricultural workers?

As the agricultural season is ramping up, now is a great time to think about how to protect the safety and health of adolescent and young adult workers who are at higher risk of injury. A free, evidence-based training developed by the University of Iowa and the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety is available for supervisors, parents, and teachers. Topics include supervising, training, and communicating more effectively with young workers. The training and supplemental materials are available in online and print formats in English and Spanish.

       

Really good information; things I’ll be able to use when working with youth on our farm. We are very aware of what a dangerous line of work we are in!

I have completed the training and thought the training information was presented well and would like my supervisors to also participate. I also like that there is a Certificate of Training Completion available once the training is complete.

I am impressed with the high quality of the writing, organizational structure of the material, and the insight of the key messaging.
