Conference Abstracts: American Agricultural Safety Summit

Raising Safety 2020: Cultivating a Culture of Safety

Introduction Barbara C. Lee 

The Journal of Agromedicine is pleased to share the following 41 abstracts accepted for poster presentations and lightning talks at the 2020 North American Agricultural Safety Summit. Unfortunately, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic interfered with plans to convene the conference at Bally’s of Las Vegas. The host organization, Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America (ASHCA) received a CDC Conference Support grant (U13OH011786-01) and support from eight sponsoring organizations to ensure that event participants benefited from the sharing of research results and ongoing intervention evaluations. To that end, the Journal shares these abstracts of completed or ongoing agricultural safety and health research.
