Seasonal Farm Worker Safety with Lisa Tapert

The overall health of a person can have a significant effect on
their ability to work safely and produce a quality product in a
timely manner.  Many of our migrant and seasonal farm
workers bring with them similar baseline health issues as their
local counterparts.  Combine this with language, cultural,
and transportation barriers you have a particularly challenging
problem.  Enter the Maine Mobile Health program.  On
this episode of the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, Lisa Tapert,
CEO of Maine Mobile Health and I talk about America’s Seasonal
and Migrant Farm Workers, the safety and health challenges they
face, and what Maine Mobile Health has been doing to support both
the growers and workers.
