Farm Family Safety and Health Workshop  Revised edition

Chapter 7: Finding Appropriate Teaching Resources

There are a variety of resources available that can enhance the quality of any farm safety workshop. Four common resource formats include

  1. printed materials, such as leader's guides, safety brochures, quizzes, coloring books, and safety check lists;
  2. audiovisual materials, including videos, PowerPoint presentations, slide sets, and overhead transparencies;
  3. on-line and computer-based resources; and in some locations,
  4. portable displays and demonstrations

In addition, there are numerous resource people with specialized training that are available in most communities to assist in presenting safety information. This chapter is designed to help you become more familiar with some of the available resources and how to access them.

Rural Health and Safety Resource Directories

Many Extension safety leaders and safety organizations across the country have published or put on their web site resource directories of safety information available in their state. For example, the Indiana Rural Safety and Heath Council regularly publishes and puts on-line a directory listing hundreds of films, videos, publications, and other resources available in Indiana. For more information on obtaining a safety resource directory for your state contact your local office of the Cooperative Extension Service, or the state Extension safety leader at your land grant institution. To view the on-line copy of the Indiana Rural Health and Safety Resource Directory, visit www.farmsafety.org or write :

Publications

Publications exist on almost every conceivable topic related to farm safety. Brochures, bulletins, posters, and technical papers are available through your state Extension Service, organizations like the National Safety Council and Farm Safety 4 Just Kids, agricultural equipment manufacturers, agricultural organizations, and federal agencies, including the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. A few phone calls can generate more material than you can efficiently use in one safety workshop. Be careful not to overwhelm participants with printed material. A few key pieces that effectively address your objectives will have more impact than a bushel of unrelated items. Be prepared to pay for multiple copies of most material. In many cases, sponsors may be willing to cover the cost of selected items. You may wish to incorporate the cost of handouts in the registration fee.
