  National Farm Safety and Health Week: September 18-22, 2022.
  
  NIOSH and its Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health (Ag Centers) are recognizing National Farm Safety and Health Week 2022.
  
  For many areas of the country, the fall harvest season is one of the busiest, but also one of the most dangerous for our nation’s farmers and farm workers. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the agriculture industry is consistently at the highest risk for occupational injuries and fatalities, with 511 fatalities in 2020, or an equivalent of 21.5 deaths per 100,000 workers. Farming is also one of the few industries in which family members, including children, are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries.
