ABSTRACT

Objectives: Occupational safety and health (OSH) interventions emphasizing regulation or education have had limited success in reducing agricultural accidents and fatalities. There is a growing interest in sociocultural approaches to OSH promotion amongst farmers, such as peer learning groups (PLGs). The level of OSH engagement within farmer PLGs (e.g. dairy discussion groups (DDGs)) is unknown. This study evaluates Irish DDG engagement with OSH in 2016 to better understand how DDGs contribute to OSH promotion.

Methods: A mixed-mode (online, postal, and telephone) retrospective survey of 121 DDG representatives (i.e. chairperson or long-term member) assessed voluntary OSH engagement in 2016, including the location, frequency, duration, and content of OSH discussions.

Results: Representatives of 96 DDGs participated in the survey and met the survey criteria. Most DDGs discussed OSH to some extent in 2016 (96%), including sharing personal experiences of accidents and illnesses (89%) and close calls (82%). For 76 DDGs, at least one meeting in 2016 addressed specific hazard and risk management topics. Groups were diverse with respect to discussion frequency, duration, and topics discussed.

Conclusion: Farmers actively engaged with OSH in most DDGs surveyed, suggesting dairy farmers value OSH discussions. The findings illustrate the role of DDGs in OSH promotion, as a space for farmer-led, peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing. Farm advisory (extension) services and OSH professionals can strengthen OSH engagement through tailored resources that reflect contemporary OSH knowledge and popular discussion approaches (e.g. experience-sharing).

农民讨论组为同伴学习安全与健康创造空间

摘要

目标:强调监管或教育的职业安全与健康 (OSH) 干预措施在减少农业事故和死亡人数方面取得的成功有限。人们对促进农民职业安全与卫生的社会文化方法越来越感兴趣,例如同伴学习小组 (PLG)。农民PLG(例如乳制品讨论组(DDG))中的职业安全与卫生参与程度未知。本研究评估了 2016 年爱尔兰 DDG 与职业安全与卫生的参与,以更好地了解 DDG 如何促进职业安全与卫生。

方法:对 121 名 DDG 代表(即主席或长期成员)进行的混合模式(在线、邮寄和电话)回顾性调查评估了 2016 年的职业安全与卫生自愿参与,包括职业安全与卫生讨论的地点、频率、持续时间和内容。

结果: 96 个 DDG 代表参加了调查并符合调查标准。2016 年,大多数 DDG 都在一定程度上讨论了职业安全与卫生(96%),包括分享事故和疾病的个人经历(89%)和危急时刻(82%)。对于 76 个 DDG,2016 年至少有一次会议讨论了特定的危害和风险管理主题。小组在讨论频率、持续时间和讨论的主题方面各不相同。

结论:在接受调查的大多数 DDG 中,农民积极参与职业安全与卫生,这表明奶农重视职业安全与卫生讨论。调查结果说明了 DDG 在促进职业安全与卫生中的作用,作为农民主导的点对点知识共享的空间。农场咨询(扩展)服务和职业安全与卫生专业人员可以通过反映当代职业安全与卫生知识和流行讨论方法(例如经验分享)的定制资源来加强职业安全与卫生的参与。
