New online community links child farm safety advocates
The Childhood Agricultural Safety Network, or CASN, a coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to farm safety for children, is introducing a new place (www.childagsafety.org) for members to post and discuss child ag injury incidents, ask questions, chat, and share resources, events, news and announcements. The community offers child agriculture safety strategies, health expertise and collaboration.
Jana Davidson, education content specialist with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation, is excited about the new online community and more frequent contacts among those in the network. “The network of colleagues and supporters it brings together from around the world is also one of the best benefits and resources to being part of CASN. Together, we can provide solutions to problems and tackle emerging issues in farm safety and health to make our ag communities stronger,” she said.
AgInjuryNews Helps Fill the Gap in Injury Reporting
Occupational fatalities in agriculture are well documented and recorded by the federal government, but tracking non-working bystander and nonfatal injuries to farmers, ranchers, workers and their families falls short. Veteran journalist Mystique Macomber interviewed the experts and wrote a story explaining how AgInjuryNews.org helps fill the gap.
