Agricultural Safety and Health

The Agricultural Safety and Health Program includes an academic program within the Department of Agricultural Engineering, College of Environmental, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences in Urbana-Champaign and a continuing education and outreach program based at the University of Illinois School of Public Health in Chicago. The goal of the academic program is to provide a basic foundation in agricultural safety and health for students seeking careers in agricultural and rural-related professions. This training is available as elective courses offered to graduate students from the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Medicine, and School of Public health. The Continuing Education and Outreach component at the School of Public Health is a founding member of the Illinois Network for Agriculture Safety and Health (INASH). INASH is a coalition of over 25 organizations involved with agricultural safety and health and provides a forum for training, information dissemination, and collaboration on preventive programs. The Agricultural Safety and Health Program has also been active in addressing agricultural safety and health problems in Latin America as part of the Great Lakes Center's international mission.
