National Agricultural Safety Database
- National Agricultural Safety Database
-
The National Ag Safety Database (NASD) was developed with funding from the United States National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the USDA Cooperative Extension Service (CES). The information contained in NASD was contributed by safety professionals and organizations from across the United States. Specifically, the objectives of the NASD project are: 1) to provide a national resource for the dissemination of information; 2) to educate workers and managers about occupational hazards associated with agriculture-related injuries, deaths and illnesses; 3) to provide prevention information; 4) to promote the consideration of safety and health issues in agricultural operations; and 5) to provide a convenient way for members of the agricultural safety and health community to share educational and research materials with their colleagues.
In October 1993, NIOSH provided funding through its Agricultural Health Promotion System (AHPS) grant program to develop the first NASD. The database was developed at the University of Florida's Cooperative Extension Service. In October 1996, NIOSH funded a three-year program to update the database and convert the database into HTML format for delivery on the World-Wide Web. By October 1997, the entire database had been converted, a web-site was established.
