• Description:
  The Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH) was funded as one of nine NIOSH agricultural health and safety centers, starting September 2011. CS-CASH is based out of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Public Health in Omaha, Nebraska. The Center serves seven states in the central United States: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. CS-CASH is a partnership where public health, agricultural, and grass roots organizations contribute to a common goal of reducing injury and illness in agriculture by utilizing their strengths and regional presence. We envision a vibrant agricultural sector in our region and the United States where health and safety is highly valued and work-related injuries and illnesses are rare. Our mission is to work with the agricultural community in the Central States and beyond, conducting research, intervention, education, and outreach activities, with the aim of discovering the mechanisms of injury and illness, and developing, implementing and evaluating prevention strategies that measurably improve the health and safety of all members of the agricultural community. CS-CASH aims to improve the safety and health of farmers, ranchers, agricultural workers, and their families. The Center conducts research and translates findings into practical applications. Research teams from different states and institutions bring expertise and access to farm audiences in the Center's region. With strong public health, agriculture, and grassroots partnerships we can address local, regional and national issues. The Center research projects focus on injury prevention and surveillance, respiratory disorders and hearing loss. The Center has funded pilot projects since 2011 on a broad range of existing and emerging health and safety issues. Information is disseminated to the agricultural community through agricultural shows and events, school programs, agricultural medicine courses, presentations, articles, and messages in electronic and printed media.
