WORKSHOP
Health and Safety in Dairy Production: Global Issues
Sunday, October 19, 2014 1300 ‐ 1600
Salon Batoche, Delta Bessborough Hotel
The dairy industry has experienced dramatic growth and change in recent decades. Expanding dairy production has required a larger workforce, most often consisting of immigrant labor, often with little experience in agriculture. Dairy farming is also among the most dangerous occupations, with high rates of injury, illness, and employee turnover. For dairy farmers trained to manage cows, the operation of a modern dairy employing a large immigrant workforce is a daunting challenge. To succeed the dairy industry must sustain a healthy, productive workforce.
In 2011, an International Dairy Research Consortium (IDRC) was organized to collaborate with other international researchers involved in improving the health and safety of dairy workers. This consortium is intended to facilitate collaborations and to share successful injury and illness prevention strategies, tested dissemination channels, and novel approaches used to improve the health and safety of dairy workers globally. Such leveraging of resources will augment dairy research efforts and lead to greater impact regionally, nationally, and internationally. To date members of the consortium represent the U.S., Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. Seven of the NIOSH Agriculture Forestry and Fishing Centers are active in the consortium. This session will bring together those already active in the International Dairy consortium and invites anyone else interested in Dairy health and safety to attend this workshop.
Prior to the workshop there will be a Walking Tour of the Rayner Dairy Research Teaching Facility, University of Saskatchewan.

Heat Stress in Rural Workplaces: An Important Issue Now, and Climate Change Brings New Challenges
(Tord Kjellstrom, co‐author)
Dr. Bruno Lemke is a Senior Lecturer with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) in New Zealand and is currently working on a number of heat stress projects with the Australian National University and Sri Ramachandra University (Chennai, India), while also serving as a consultant for Umea University (Sweden). Based in Nelson NZ, he works with a small team of researchers headed by Dr. Tord Kjellstrom, (originally of Sweden) whose research focus is the effects of work‐place heat stress on health and productivity, now and in the future. Dr. Lemke graduated with a PhD in Physics from the University of NSW, Australia and has many years of experience teaching Anatomy, Physiology and Applied Fitness. The blend of a rigorous physics
background and expertise in physiology plus a computer programming background made him join the Hothaps Climate Change Health Impact and Prevention (CHIP) program activities coordinated by Dr Kjellstrom. http://climatechip.org/ Dr. Lemke’s studies involve the production of heat stress data from climate change models (CMIP5), the modelling of the effects of heat stress on human physiology, and the production of easy to use heat stress monitoring equipment. He has been involved in the soon to be released WHO report on “Global Assessment of the Health Impacts of Climate Change: Occupational Heat Stress”.
Heat stress for workers has a different underlying cause than heat stress in other vulnerable groups such as the elderly. Dr. Lemke’s talk will explore mechanisms that lead to heat stress in workers, especially in rural settings, comparing the multitude of heat stress indexes and how to rationalize them. North America and Southern Asia will be used as examples in the development of meaningful heat stress information for current and future issues relating to health, productivity and economic output. Data will be presented for North America and South Asia showing the number of days where the heat stress exceeds international standards for outdoor work, currently and in the future. The number of days per year where outdoor work should be reduced from 8 hours per day due to heat, increases in the following cities from the current number of days per year to the estimated number of days in 2085: Saskatoon from 2 to 10 days, Chicago from 20 to 45 days, Dallas from 118 to 150 days, Bangkok from 333 to 355 days and Kuala Lumpur from 361 to 365 days. The contrasting ways in which developed countries and developing countries deal with heat stress in the outdoors is explored so that each can learn from the other in dealing with the increased heat stress predicted in the future.

Ebola, West Nile and More: What the Past 5 Years Have Taught Us about Zoonotic Diseases
Dr. Susanna Von Essen grew up on a farm in eastern Nebraska, where she saw firsthand the impact of farming practices on health. She is a graduate of the University of Nebraska‐Lincoln, Washington University School of Medicine (MD) and the University of Michigan (MPH, with a concentration in Occupational Health). She went on to complete her Internal Medicine residency and pulmonary fellowship at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
She is currently in her 27th year on the faculty of the University of Nebraska Medical Centre in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep and Allergy, and also has an appointment and teaches in the College of Public Health. In her medical practice she specializes on rural health issues, including respiratory health and how exposure to organic dust from hogs, cattle, and grain affects pulmonary function. She identified the first Nebraska case of diacetyl exposure related lung disease, and published the first (and only) description of a farm worker who survived poisoning by tilmicosin (a veterinary antibiotic) after an unintentional injection.
Dr. Von Essen has more than 29 years of research experience in agricultural health, securing extramural funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and from NIOSH. She continues to own a farm; this combined with her role as a practicing physician gives her tremendous knowledge of farmers and their workplace exposures.
Dr. Van Essen’s keynote address, entitled: “Ebola, West Nile and More: What the Past 5 Years Have Taught Us about Zoonotic Diseases”, will enable audience members to understand and utilize lessons learned from treating Ebola patients in a North American university hospital. Her talk will demonstrate the principles, benefits, and application of OneHealth through a series of examples: 1) controlling the risk of West Nile virus infection in rural populations; 2) measures being taken to control risk of Salmonella infections related to food contamination on farms and in food processing facilities; 3) risk factors and treatment approaches for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome; and 4) applying One Health methods for rabies control.
