NIOSH Centers for Agricultural Safety and Health
“Amos Zittel & Sons, Eden, NY has utilized the Center’s workers safety program delivered in both English and Spanish languages and the pesticide fit testing for our spray program. We’ve also installed rollbars on 3 of our tractors through the ROPS program. All three programs provided useful safety measures needed to help with safety compliance.”

“[The Lifejackets for Lobstermen project] far surpassed my expectations, and I am sure will result in lives saved. I was truly impressed and believe the Northeast Center has set a standard of excellence that we can all learn from.”

“Professional loggers in Maine are proud to partner with the Northeast Center to help research health and safety related injuries and illnesses that are prevalent in this industry. Through our collaboration, we are not only able to determine where our risk areas lie, but also to design a path for improvement.
