Abstract:

The National Agriculture Safety Database (NASD) is an extensive compilation of agriculture safety and health education and information resources, and was developed through a cooperative agreement between NIOSH and the University of Florida. It contains over 2,000 agricultural health and safety publications from 25 states, 4 federal agencies and 5 national organizations. The database includes: OSHA and EPA Standards; extension publications; abstracts and ordering information for over 1,000 agriculture safety-related videos; a NIOSH bibliography database with over 500 scientific publications; contact information for over 1,000 people and organizations involved in agriculture health and safety; slide presentations and posters; sample news releases; and public service announcement scripts. Some of the topic areas covered by this database include:
