We are excited to host a Farm Respiratory Training here in Atchison County!

Farm life promotes strength and independence, but farm work also carries real risks—especially to your lungs. Dusts, gases, and other contaminants in the air can affect the health of farmers and their families.

Join us for an interactive, practical training designed to help you and your family recognize common respiratory hazards and take sensible, low‑cost steps to stay healthy while still getting your work done.

You’ll learn about:
Respiratory hazards in farm storage tanks, bins, and wells.
How to choose and use respirators correctly
Ways to identify and manage confined-space hazards on the farm
Learn to protect yourself, your family, and your workers from preventable respiratory hazards. Register today for this FREE training.

Wednesday, July 15, 2026
Blue Building – 301 Main Street, Effingham, KS 66023
5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
