National Farm Safety and Health Week: Sept. 21-27

National Farm Safety and Health Week is Sept. 21-27 to promote awareness for agricultural safety solutions. The week is endorsed by 10 U.S. Agricultural Centers (USagCenters) funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

US Ag Net reports this year’s theme is Safety Counts: Protecting what Matters. “The theme underscores the importance of us all working together to build a safer and healthier agricultural work place,” said Scott Heiberger, USagCenters spokesman.

USagCenters has created more than 40 videos, available on their YouTube channel www.youtube.com/USagCenters, as a resource for Extension agents, ag educators, farmers and ranchers, first responders and farm families.
