Description

FAST Train-the-Trainer Program This Train-the-Trainer Program is for individuals who have limited experience delivering safety training or similar education programs. The session is approximately 8 hours in length and prepares you to deliver FAST Program modules. Help us reduce illnesses, injuries, and fatalities in Virginia's agricultural industries. Our team will provide you with training resources, provide an orientation and training session, and work with you or your agency to prepare outreach materials. Our program goal is to reach 1,500 members of the target audience by September 30, 2022. The FAST Program is in the second year of a planned four-year capacity building process. In following years, the grant team will provide more training modules geared toward additional farm and agricultural hazards. Our goal is to build both the instructional capacity and an engaged workforce acting together to reduce injury, illness and death on the farm.
