The Centers for Agricultural Disease and Injury Research, Education, and Prevention represent a major NIOSH (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) effort to protect the health and safety of agricultural workers and their families.
The Centers were established to conduct research, education, and prevention projects to address the nation’s pressing agricultural health and safety problems. Geographically, the Centers are distributed throughout the nation to be responsive to the agricultural health and safety issues unique to the different regions.
