ATV and Side-by-Side Safety for Workers and Families in Agriculture

May 15th at 2:00 EST
 
All-terrain vehicles and side-by-side vehicles have become essential components of most farms and ranches. Unfortunately, they have also been an increasing cause of both occupational and recreational deaths and injuries in these settings.  In this presentation, we will discuss the safety issues related to these vehicles in agriculture, and what measures should be taken to decrease the risks.
 
Charles Jennissen, MD, is a pediatric emergency medicine physician and a Clinical Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Dr. Jennissen grew up on a dairy farm in central Minnesota. Most of his research projects have addressed injury-related issues, especially those involving off-road vehicles. 

His 12-year-old first cousin and another neighborhood boy were killed while on an ATV as they drove out of a farmyard driveway and were hit by a pick-up just a few miles from his family’s farm. Dr. Jennissen is very active in the Iowa ATV Safety Taskforce and is a member of a national coalition led by the Consumer Federation of America that has been working to inform the public and governing officials of the dangers of off-road vehicles on public roads. He has been an advisory board member of I-CASH (Iowa Center for Agricultural Safety and Health) for 21 years.
