• Description:
  Principles are not unique. Any labor intensive industry, industries which include frequent contact with biologically active inputs and outputs, heavy equipment, etc. and Industries with diverse worker population. Nature of biological materials - by their very nature, products like grain, feed, animal waste, and chemicals are: unstable, perishable, and require high degree of skill and management. Contamination distances and accessibility issues intervention research clearly indicates that: One shot programs have minimal effect, there is rarely a "magic bullet," successful programs use multiple delivery channels and target multiple audiences, the community infrastructure -- anyone who delivers goods, services, and information must be part of the target. Some areas for future learning - diagnosing and treating agricultural respiratory disease (asthma, bronchitis, farmer's lung, organic dust toxic syndrome), farm family stress and mental health, and proper treatment of pesticide poisoning.
