2013 North American Agricultural Safety Summit

In 1990 the U.S. Surgeon General’s Conference on Agricultural Safety and Health was the impetus to launch a national initiative addressing research, education and policies for improving the wellbeing of workers and families involved in U.S agriculture. Since that time no single event has galvanized the public and private sector to update national agricultural safety and health priorities based upon the worldwide demand for food production, new agricultural technologies, or a comprehensive assessment of achievements in resolving past problems and gaps in addressing persistent and emerging issues. Leaders of farm organizations and agribusinesses, as well as public servants representing agriculture, safety and public health, will benefit from a common vision – setting priorities for the future.
