• Description:
  The overall Goal of the North American Agricultural Safety Summit series is to create and sustain a culture of safety that establishes evidence-based interventions and initiatives addressing the primary causes of disease, disability and death associated with agricultural work. The Summit events will forge collaborations between agriculture (ag) industry and farm organization leaders with occupational safety and health practitioners, researchers and advocates. Specific Aims are to: 1. Plan, execute and conduct follow-up activities for a series of annual Summit events that include participation from influential agricultural leaders, safety practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and others. 2. Facilitate public-private partnerships that build a culture of safety, leading to adoption of best agricultural safety practices in pace with the changing landscape of food production practices and worker profiles. 3. Identify research priorities for NIOSH agricultural research centers based upon industry's current safety/health issues and anticipated future needs. 4. Publish proceedings, commentaries, and research studies in a dedicated issue of the Journal of Agromedicine: Practice, Policy & Research. Over the three-year conference grant cycle all four aims were accomplished. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic several accommodations had to be made because of the CDC-recommended restrictions on in-person events and the intermittent compromised health of individuals associated with the planned activities. Leaders of the Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America (ASHCA) were generally pleased with the results of the Summits and appreciated the financial support afforded through the CDC Conference Support grant. A major outcome is the strong interest in expanding this agricultural safety and health event, with a proposed International Conference on Agricultural Safety and Health with multiple organizations collaborating, to be held in 2024 or 2025.
