Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health
The Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health (CASH) are 12 groups that check the safety of people in fishing, forestry, and agriculture. These groups are given money and information by NIOSH to protect these people. These groups were made in 1990 under the Agricultural Health and Safety Initiative.[1]
National Ag Safety Database
One place of safety information made after the Agricultural Health and Safety Initiative is the National Ag Safety Database (NASD). The NASD gives out information on agriculture dangers.[2] The largest groups that have made and given money to NASD are NIOSH and CS-CASH.[3] CS-CASH is the Central-State Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health, one of the 12 groups that check safety of people in agriculture.
