"Orphan Boy the Farmer" is a series of three short
safety stories that were developed as part of our NIOSH funded
research project that began in 1999. The stories portray the
life of an orphaned Hmong farm boy. The stories illustrate hazards,
behaviors, consequences, and control strategies related to farm
work assigned to Hmong children and depict safe work practices
of three tasks: Rototilling, Knife Use, and Marketplace Skills.
