Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at very high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries; and farming is one of the few industries in which family members (who often share the work and live on the premises) are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) provides an array of informational resources and tools for the agricultural community, including:
- Cost-effective Rollover Protective Structures (CROPS)
- Occupational Injury Surveillance of Production Agriculture (OISPA) Survey
- Minority Farm Operator Occupational Injury Surveillance of Production Agriculture (M-OISPA) Survey
- Farm Safety Survey (FSS)
- Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention Initiative
