Webinars: Farmworker Health and Safety Part 1
This workshop series focuses on the hazards that farmworker, and farmworker communities face in the effort to bring food to the American table. The series covers issues of toxic exposures, to food insecurity, to hazardous employment and housing conditions, and a stark lack of healthcare services available to meet all of these needs. Besides occupational health and safety concerns, climate change in California is adding another layer of complexity to safeguard farmworkers because of extreme heat conditions and poor air quality from wildfires. Besides understanding the wide range of issues impacting this vulnerable group, nurses can learn how to be advocates for health equity and greater protections to help farmworkers and their families.
