Accomplishments
Short-term Outcomes:
Development of an new white paper addressing ATV injuries and promoting safety.
Revision of research and extension agenda priorities for agricultural safety and health.
Engage stakeholders to promote sustainability of agricultural safety and health extension programs.
Making Iowa a safer place to live and work.
Outputs:
ATV white paper draft report.
Data summary of reserach and extension agenda priorities.
Agritourism workshop content for public play area safety on farm sites primer that shared the difference between private and public standards, responsibilities, appropriate equipment, and accepted practices.
Activities:
Three Conference call meetings for ATV white paper committee
Data analysis of research agenda priorities and injury statistics
Developing a paper comparing injury surviellance data from two collecting sources
Conducted an assessment of Iowa farm operators’ perceptions about the barriers and motivators when considering retrofitting tractors with rollover protective structures (ROPS). A statewide sample of approximately 2,000 farm operators were surveyed in the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll.
Human response time is not enough to avoid agricultural machinery injuries demonstration at the Iowa Power Farming show in Des Moines, IA from January 30 to February 1, 2018. Over 600 participants stopped to test their abilities. Agritourism workshop in Altoona, IA on March 22, 2018. 24 Iowa farmers with agritourism farm operations.
Milestones:
Publish the ATV safety white paper by July 2018
Publish a revisied national agenda for research and extension in agricultural safety and health.
