Intervention to increase adoption of safer dairy farming production practices.

Objectives: We conducted an intervention to increase adoption of three dairy farming practices shown to reduce certain traumatic and musculoskeletal injury hazards.

Methods: The intervention disseminated information to 4,300 Wisconsin dairy farm managers about three safer, more profitable production practices (barn lights, bag silos, and calf feed mixing sites) using information channels upon which these managers were known to rely. We evaluated rolling, independent, community-based samples at baseline and after each of two intervention years.

Evaluation of a four year intervention to reduce musculoskeletal hazards among berry growers.

Problem: Fresh market berry production workers are exposed to physical risk factors for musculoskeletal injury.

Method: We disseminated information through trade publications and other sources to berry managers in seven U.S.
