Teaching online is here for the near future. UMASH is ready to assist with ag health and safety ideas that you can use ONLINE for your class. Check out our resources and the 10 Ways to Teach Ag Health and Safety Online.
PERSONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
Farming is one of the most physically dangerous occupations.
While there is no easy and accessible solution for all ag workers when addressing their physical and mental health, it is important to recognize and address concerns as best as possible. To help, UMASH has compiled various resources for issues related to both physical and mental health and safety.
FEATURED TOPICS
Great Content shared often! If you are a farmer, this is the place to learn about how to keep yourself and your family safe!
Sharing UMASH's and other partner resources with our Gear Up for Ag Health and Safety students throughout the year makes our work much easier!
They have been important resources to be sure our "learners" know how to stay safe! Honestly, I haven't been able to find better resources than yours!
Being a farm kid and being raised around this stuff all our lives, we don't realize all the unsafe things we are around so seeing that made me realize that little everyday things I'm doing or around are not always as safe as I think they are.
