2006-2007 Agricultural Safety Seminar Series

"I've attached a Word document which lists the dates and places for 26 Agricultural Safety Seminars which will be held in 17 cities in Oregon between October and March.  Six of the seminars will be conducted entirely in Spanish (listed toward the end of the document).  The seminars are sponsored by SAIF.  However, you do not have to be one of their policyholders to participate, they are open to anyone, and they're free - but you MUST register.  The attached document will give you more detailed information about the seminars.

SAIF will begin its 12th annual Agricultural Safety Seminar Series this fall.  The free, four-hour seminar is designed primarily for owners, operators, supervisors, and foremen, but anyone working in the agricultural industry is welcome to attend.  Twenty-six seminars will be held in 17 cities throughout Oregon between October and March.  Six seminars will be conducted entirely in Spanish.

Small business employers attending the seminar will meet one of the four instructional requirements for House Bill 3019 that exempts small agricultural establishments from random OSHA inspections.  SAIF will also apply for two hours of pesticide re-certification credits from the Oregon Department of Agriculture for these sessions.

This season’s seminars include information on respirators and pesticides and an update on changes to Oregon OSHA’s Division 4 agriculture codes, presented by Kirk Lloyd of Risk Management Resources, Inc. and SAIF Loss Control Program Consultant Laurie LaBrasseur.  Additional topics include the increased challenge of hiring work crews when the labor pool is small, and a basic loss prevention model designed to equip owners and managers with the tools and resources needed to successfully hire, train, and manage a dynamic workforce.  Attendees will also learn about “cool tools” and available resources designed to reduce agricultural injuries in Oregon.
