• Description:
  Youth workers in agriculture, between the ages of 14 and 18 years old are vulnerable to agricultural machinery hazards (Hard & Myers, 2006; Jepsen, 2012). Reducing the amount of agricultural injuries to youth will continue to be difficult, especially with regulatory exemptions provided under the Fair Labor Standards Act (Garvey, Murphy, Yoder & Hilton, 2008; Browning, Westneat, Szeluga, 2001; Lawver, Pate, & Sorensen, 2016). In part, the difficulty is also due to a lack of sustainable multilevel efforts to involve farm youth and their mentors in effective experiential learning programs that promote safe work behaviors and safe farm work environments. Most farm safety interventions are focused on adult workers and do not target the many adolescents who work on farms or teachers in career and technical education programs (Westaby & Lee, 2003; Pate, Lawver, & Sorensen, 2016). This agricultural safety youth training project is innovative in its implementation approach across multiple states utilizing evidence based curriculum within Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Programs. The objective of this innovative program is to determine how a local SAE safety award program can be leveraged to reduce injuries to youth who work with agricultural machinery.
