Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH)

The Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH) is housed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Public Health. CS-CASH is one of 11 National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health Ag Centers. The Center serves a seven-state region including North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. We collaborate with our neighboring Centers, based out of Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Texas. Each of these Centers has unique projects and focus areas. CS-CASH focuses primarily on respiratory disease research, injury surveillance, hearing protection, feedyard and bison worker safety, educational needs of farmers, including non-traditional farmers, their family members, and workers. Our goal is to serve the farming community by discovering causes of injury and illness, and communicating information about prevention in ways that reaches as many farmers as possible.
