MARSHFIELD – The Rural Firefighters Delivering Agriculture Safety and Health (RF-DASH) online course, run by the National Farm Medicine Center, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, is now live.
“RF-DASH aims to equip rural first responders with agricultural health and safety knowledge to prevent farm injuries and improve emergency preparedness in rural communities,” a National Farm Medicine Center release stated.
The online course introduces fire/EMS personnel to the RF-DASH program, provides instruction in the core RF-DASH material, and discusses two technological tools that can be used to improve farm/ranch safety.
First responders and others completing this course will receive a certificate of completion, which they can submit to their department requesting continuing education credits.
The course is open to anyone at any time, at no cost. Simply create an account on the RF-DASH website.
The course is available at rfdash.org/courses/rf-dash-online-course.
