• Description:
  The Agricultural Health and Safety Center Initiative began with the development of two Centers in 1990 funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Due to the vast regional differences in agricultural production and practices across the United States, NIOSH chose to add additional Centers roughly corresponding to Public Health Service Regions. In FY 2010, the Initiative consisted of seven Agricultural Centers mandated to undertake research, develop prevention and education programs and provide consultation to constituents across the United States in an expanded North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), occupational sub code 11, Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting. The mission of the Initiative is to reduce injury and disease in three of the most hazardous occupations in the United States: agriculture, forestry, and fishing. This mission is to be accomplished by addressing the following objectives: 1. Conduct research related to the prevention of occupational disease and injury among producers, workers and their families. 2. Develop, implement and evaluate educational and outreach programs for promoting health and safety for production agriculture/forestry/fishing including farmers, workers and their families. This would include providing consultation and/or training to researchers, health and safety professionals, graduate/professional students, agricultural extension agents, and others in a position to improve the health and safety of workers. 3. Develop, implement and evaluate model programs for the prevention of illness and injury among agriculture/forestry/fishing producers, workers and their families. 4. Develop linkages and communication with other governmental and non-governmental bodies involved in health and safety with special emphasis on communications with other agricultural/forestry/fishing health and safety programs (PAR-06-057).
