Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Farming Safety - Keeping Kids Safe on the Farm Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Why is Farm Safety for Kids Such an Issue Chapter 2: Children and Livestock Chapter 3: Children and Farm Machinery Chapter 4: Children and Grains and Crops Chapter 5: Overlooked Farm Hazards Chapter 6: Making Safety Fun Conclusion Author Bio Introduction According to OSHA, over 300 children die each year from injuries sustained on a farm, with the overwhelming majority of these accidents being children who live on these farms. http: //ehs.okstate.edu/training/oshafarm.htm Additionally, statistics from a number of sources all find that the number of injuries to children who live/work on family farms is over 20,000 per year. It would be inaccurate to say that every single one of these deaths could have been prevented if better safety practices would have been in place, it is completely accurate to say that more than half of the children that die as a result of farm accidents are avoidable. Likewise, accidents can happen even when stringent safety measures are in place, but a significant number of them could be eliminated with a few more lessons and rules in farm safety. This book is meant to serve as both a reminder and as an educational resource for farm families with children and grandchildren as well as families whose children visit and/or work on a farm. NOTE: Accidents happen-both non-serious and tragic accidents no one can see coming and those that are completely unavoidable despite our best efforts. This book is not meant as a guarantee against life, is not intended to serve as legal counsel and is not meant to serve as an endorsement for any product brand.

This book was released on 1998-11-18 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Massachusetts, a 12-year-old girl delivering newspapers is killed when a car strikes her bicycle. In Los Angeles, a 14-year-old boy repeatedly falls asleep in class, exhausted from his evening job. Although children and adolescents may benefit from working, there may also be negative social effects and sometimes danger in their jobs. Protecting Youth at Work looks at what is known about work done by children and adolescents and the effects of that work on their physical and emotional health and social functioning. The committee recommends specific initiatives for legislators, regulators, researchers, and employers. This book provides historical perspective on working children and adolescents in America and explores the framework of child labor laws that govern that work. The committee presents a wide range of data and analysis on the scope of youth employment, factors that put children and adolescents at risk in the workplace, and the positive and negative effects of employment, including data on educational attainment and lifestyle choices. Protecting Youth at Work also includes discussions of special issues for minority and disadvantaged youth, young workers in agriculture, and children who work in family-owned businesses.

This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the FAO’s framework is to guide the Organization and its personnel in the integration of measures addressing child labour within FAO’s typical work, programmes and initiatives at global, regional and country levels. It aims to enhance compliance with organization’s operational standards, and strengthen coherence and synergies across the Organization and with partners. The FAO framework is primarily targeted at FAO as an organization, including all personnel in all geographic locations. But the framework is also relevant for FAO’s governing bodies and Member States, and provides guidance and a basis for collaboration with development partners. The framework is also to be used as a key guidance to assess and monitor compliance with FAO’s environmental and social standards addressing prevention and reduction of child labour in FAO’s programming.

Download or read book Agriculture Forestry and Fishing Research at NIOSH written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors are the cornerstone of industries that produce food, fiber, and biofuel. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research in order to improve worker safety and health in these sectors. This National Research Council book reviews the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries. The assessment reveals that the program has made meaningful contributions to improving worker safety and health in these fields. To enhance the relevance and impact of its work and fulfill its mission, the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program should provide national leadership, coordination of research, and activities to transfer findings, technologies, and information into practice. The program will also benefit from establishing strategic goals and implementing a comprehensive surveillance system in order to better identify and track worker populations at risk.
