- W2334886718 abstract "This study sought to identify Iowa agricultural educators’ practices, attitudes, and needs regarding agricultural safety and health (ASH). Nearly 85% of high school agricultural educators reported teaching ASH in some capacity. The most commonly taught topics included animal safety, welding safety and power tool safety. Iowa agricultural educators rated, using a Likert scale, the importance of topic within ASH education. All topics presented were believed to be important, with machinery safety, tractors safety, and ATV safety rated the most important. Personal health topics including hearing protection and thermal protection were perceived as less important. Most educators believe the ASH materials available to them were quality and age appropriate. When presented with the statement, “I believe there is adequate training and professional development for teachers on ASH,” nearly 70% of educators disagreed. Lack of time was cited by nearly 75% of teacher as a major limitation to teaching ASH education in their classrooms. These finding have implications for professional development. Introduction Family farms continue to dominate American agriculture (Murphy, 1992). According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, 88% of farms in the United States are still family owned (Nelson, 2010). Family farms raise specific safety and health issues. These operations are usually exempt from regulatory control, often do not make modifications to reduce the event of injury or death, and allow children to operate machinery and drive tractors (Murphy, 1992). Farming has historically been a hazardous occupation (Rivara, 1985). Worker fatality statistics from 2007 suggest that forestry, agriculture and fishing are the nation’s most hazardous work industries (Murphy and Lee, 2009). Work death rates in these industries are eight times higher than the all-industry average, and 80% of the work-related deaths in these industries occurred in agriculture alone (Murphy and Lee, 2009). Unlike most industries, children and young adults make up a significant portion of the agricultural workforce (McCallum et al., 2005) and their exposure to agricultural hazards is routine and extensive. In 2006, it was projected more than 29 million youth under the age of 20 were exposed to agricultural hazards as either farmworkers, visitors, farm residents, or children of farm workers (Levy et al., 2011). Recent agricultural injury and fatality statistics reported a fatality rate of 43 per 100,000 youth (NIOSH, 2007). While the farm injury death rates have declined (Rivara, 1997), the rate is still higher than all other industries (Murphy and Lee, 2009). There are three established methods to combating fatalities, injuries, and illnesses in industries: 1) engineer hazards out of equipment and processes, 2) enforce regulations that prohibit work and working conditions, and 3) educate workers on hazard recognition and encourage adoption of behaviors that will reduce the potential for injury, illness, or death (Murphy, 1992). In agriculture and on family farms specifically, two of these methods are difficult. While engineering if often boasted as the most effective methods at reducing worker exposure to hazards, farmers often take liberties to remove safeguards or modify equipment to better meet their needs (Murphy, 1992). Given that a majority of farms in the United States are family owned, state and federal legislation to prevent agricultural injuries and fatalities are not applicable (Murphy, 1992). Education has been viewed as the weakest method to reducing agricultural injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. However, literature suggests educating youth could have great impact on attitudinal and behavioral changes within agricultural safety and health (Murphy et al., 1996). Many agricultural safety and health (ASH) professionals view 1CPBH 312S, 145 N.
