Websites, Other Curricular Resources, and Materials not Described Above:


Working with the PA Office of Rural Health to develop a handler training booklet for the Worker Protection Standard for use in the Plain Sect community. This will enable owners and operates to train their handlers using the handbook which is culturally appropriate rather than videos.


 Expanded curriculum and resources listed in the Safety in Agriculture for Youth (SAY) Project National Clearinghouse (https://ag-safety.extension.org/say-national-clearinghouse/). This is an ongoing project to provide a one-stop for youth educators to find agricultural safety and health resources for their groups, clubs, and classrooms.


 Updated the PowerPoints slides for the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program (NSTMOP) and developed supplemental resources. Both resources are provided to instructors who complete the NSTMOP Online Instructor Course.

Agricultural Safety and Health Website (https://abe.ufl.edu/agsafety/): The website aims to disseminate my research and extension publication and reach an extended audience. The website is a repository of my agricultural safety and health research summary and extension publications for extension professionals and anybody involved in agriculture. The visitors can find Florida-specific agricultural safety and health-related program areas, infographics, factsheets, injury surveillance findings, resources for teaching safety and health, events, and activities.


Florida AgrAbility Project (https://agrability.ifas.ufl.edu): The purpose of the website is to create a platform for disseminating information to the farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers with functional limitations/disabilities and for Florida AgrAbility clients to reach out to us for services. Additionally, any extension faculty and farmers with disabilities can use the request form on the website for one-on-one service including farm worksite assessment or other assistive technology-related information.
