Indeed they do, say the nation’s principal manufacturers and formulators. Their trade association, the National Agricultural Chemicals Association, recently developed a new farm worker safety program which is receiving acclaim for members of Congress, farm worker leaders, physicians at migrant health clinics and others across the country. The program includes an illustrated safety brochure as well as television and radio public service announcements. All these materials are available in Spanish ranging from 2% ton (104.5 bu.) to 10Mi ton (421.9 bu.). For additional information, contact your local Circle Steel Dealer or write Circle Steel Corporation, Circle Park, Taylorville, Illinois 62568. and English and provide basic safety precautions such as proper clothing and hygiene when working in areas treated with chemicals. “Initial response to the program since it was released in March has been overwhelming,” says Dr. Jack D. Early, NACA President. “We’ve received requests for more than 125,000 brochures, with ad ditional requests coming in each day.” Only a few weeks after launching the program, the association had to print an ad ditional 100,000 brochures to meet demands. “Farm workers are a vital part of our nation’s agricultural economy,” says Dr. Early, pointing out that the nearly 2.5 million farms throughout the nation produce more than $48.5 billion owrth of harvested crops, over $4O billion in livestock sales and nearly $2O billion in poultry, poultry product and dairy sales. “Without the help of farm workers, farmers couldn’t possibly harvest enough food and fiber to meet the ever increasing demand for these products. Much of our agricultural production would simply rot in the field.” According to the Office of Migrant Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are approximately 1 million migrant and 2 million seasonal farm workers in the United States. “It’s important that all these workers understand the necessity of working safely with farm chemicals,” says the association president. “Our objective is to reach as many farm workers as nossible with the safety message. ’ ’ Initially, NACA sent the public service spots to stations in Texas, Florida, California and Arizona because these states have the highest concentration of farm workers. Sixty-two television stations are currently airing the spots with many others planning to do so in the next few months. Later this year, NACA will send the spots to television stations in other farm worker areas. The safety brochure is being distributed across the country with the assistance of such diverse groups as congressional offices, farm worker organizations, county health officials, government of ficials, farm groups, migrant health clinics and state and regional agricultural chemicals associations. “(NACA) is going all-out in an effort to educate farm workers to the hazards of their job and teach them ways to minimize the danger,” said Rep. Andy Ireland (D-FL) in a recent news release to media in his 10th Congressional District. “Workers’ safety is a very important issue and it must not be ignored. Programs like this can go a long way to help prevent injury or illness.” For more information, contact the Communications Department, National Agricultural Chemicals Association, 115515th Street, N.W., Washington,' D.C. 20005.
