Abstract |
Hazards associated with farming and rural life in the USA are reviewed along with problems caused by the lack of an adequately trained emergency response service. National efforts to reduce farm deaths are described including the development of a National Training Center at the New York State University of Technology. The FARMEDIC programme aims to reduce risk through education and awareness and to provide training to the emergency rescue system, in particular, to volunteer emergency service providers. |
