Farm Safety for Children

 

Original Presentation Date: 1/28/2021

Facilitator Lesson Plan

Young workers in agriculture (under 25 years old) are at increased risk for occupational
injuries. In addition to traditional workplace hazards, fatigue, substance use, and
distracted behaviors are risk factors for injury. Clinicians, parents, and supervisors can
play an active role in protecting young workers. Attend this session to learn about
strategies and resources to protect this vulnerable population.
