  National Farm Medicine Center
• Description:
  The National Farm Medicine Center is a prominent partner institute in the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health (UMASH) Center. UMASH, based at the University of Minnesota, is one of 10 Centers of Excellence in Agricultural Disease and Injury Research, Education, and Prevention funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The UMASH center is a collaboration of the NFMC, the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Minnesota Department of Health. The National Farm Medicine Center's projects focus on dairy. Investigators seek to bridge the gap in worker health and safety training in dairy production by testing a culturally appropriate, occupational safety and health intervention to reduce worksite hazards and improve knowledge and practices among immigrant dairy workers. The project developed a five-module, bilingual safety curriculum for Hispanic workers and is utilizing Promotores de Salud, or lay health workers, to employ a "train-the-trainer" approach to educate workers. Topics include Hazard Identification and Control on Farms, Animal Handling, Machinery and Equipment, Workers' Rights and Responsibilities, Chemical Safety and Confined Spaces. Each one-hour module is written with a step-by-step facilitator's guide and is designed to engage participants. Free trainings conducted in Spanish continue to be offered to a number of eligible dairy farms (e.g., having at least three Hispanic workers). [Description provided by NIOSH]
