Agriculture Safety Day was in Yakima and Wenatchee last month (thanks for stopping by our booth if you were there). Many safety resources were shared. Some of our favorites include: - BEST tools (Brainstorm Ergonomic Solutions Tool), helps you brainstorm ways to help avoid or ameliorate ergonomic risks: https://saif.adobeconnect.com/pnci3gmi499z/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery, - Safe lifting calculator, shows what weight you can safely lift items from different heights: https://osha.oregon.gov/OSHAPubs/apps/liftcalc/lift-calculator.html, - A suicide prevention training: https://www.qprinstitute.com/, - Suicide prevention hotline: 988 and https://988lifeline.org/, and help for those in the agriculture industry: https://extension.wsu.edu/skagit/suicide-prevention/. - As always, our friends at https://deohs.washington.edu/pnash/ also have tons of resources available, including a new app that translates the safety labels from commonly-used pesticides. If you are in the agricultural industry, consider visiting the ASD next February!
