TY - CHAP TI - Implementing on-farm food safety programs in fruit and vegetable cultivation AU - Chapman, B.J. AU - Powell, D.A. T2 - Improving the Safety of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables AB - This chapter presents that on-farm food safety programs should not waste money by putting producers in classrooms; funds need to be invested in effective on-site visits. Ongoing research and continuous evaluation is required not only to understand sources and pathways of contamination better, but also to, for example, determine the most-effective ways of communicating with employees, to develop more practical documentation, and to integrate on-farm food safety programs better, with nutrient management plans, spray records, and environmental farm plans to create a farm-specific approach to produce production. The components of a complete on-farm food safety system include: transparency; developed with input from both growers and buyers for acceptance; based on the best available science; flexible and continuously evolving and improving; easy to understand for producers, buyers and consumers; providing support for individual growers; ensuring understanding of the requirements, documentation and principles; utilizing multiple strategies to reduce knowledge, attitude and behavioral barriers; efficient and inexpensive; and, well-documented. There is no single correct way to include all of the items that are components of an on-farm food safety program; rather, programs should be tailored to the needs of different customers with the goal of retaining or even enhancing market share. The components of a program must also be flexible enough to include the smallest of growers while catering for the needs of large growers.

AU - Bowling, J. Michael AU - Schulman, Michael AU - Gallagher, Susan Scavo T2 - Journal of Adolescent Health AB - Purpose To examine the working conditions of teenagers in five sites, examining the presence of factors associated with workplace violence and considering workers’ concerns about safety and training to deal with violent circumstances. Methods Teenage workers, aged 14–17 years, with employment experience in retail industries in five sites (North Carolina; Brockton, Massachusetts; Los Angeles, California; Oakland, California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) were questioned. Data in North Carolina were collected by telephone interview. Parallel data from the other sites were obtained using self-administered questionnaires in schools. Results Teenage retail workers report experiences that include working alone, at night, and/or without supervisors present. Training about angry customers, robbery, and sexual harassment is less than complete. Yet, teenage retail workers express few concerns about safety. Conclusions Most teenagers work while attending high school, with over half employed in the retail trades. Those working in retail experience higher rates of workplace violence than other workers, mostly during robberies. Working alone and at night are risk factors for violent victimization. Findings indicate areas of potential improvement in child labor practices, particularly with respect to training and supervision.

The study posited that, because of their youth and immigrant status, these workers would be less likely to receive adequate training. Methods: We interviewed 50 youths aged ≤21 who had worked at least 10 days in construction in the previous year. The in-person interview included 140 questions covering a range of construction work and health and safety experiences. Results: Participants reported performing a range of hazardous tasks, some while under the age of 18. Of these, 68% to 72% reported receiving some training, but median training time was only 1 hour. Only 24% reported receiving written training material. Those with less English ability received less training. Conclusions: Young Latino immigrants in this study received inadequate training given the hazardous work they performed. Clinical Significance: Results of this research, especially the relatively low level of English communication skills among young Latino workers, point to the need for increased bilingual services not just in worker safety training programs, but also in medical clinics and emergency rooms that treat Latino workers.
