September 21–27 is National Farm Safety Week. NIOSH marks this year’s theme, Safety Counts: Protecting What Matters, by announcing the new Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing directory page. This page is a one-stop entry point to NIOSH data, information, and resources for research and action in this sector. The web page is coordinated by the NIOSH Office of Agricultural Safety and Health.
As you know, workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing experience the highest rates of fatal work-related injury of workers in any sector in the United States. The new directory page offers improved access to NIOSH data, topics and publications related to the health and safety of agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing workers. It also links to information about extramural programs and program goals, outcomes, and partnerships through the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Program Portfolio, National Occupational Research Agenda, and recent program review pages. Please visit the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing directory page and distribute the link among your networks.
