Historical
note
|
|
The Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and
Health (I-CASH) was created by the Iowa Legislature in 1990 in
response to public concern about farm safety and accident
prevention. I-CASH is headquartered iat the University of Iowa,
College of Public Health in Iowa City, IA and it is a joint
venture of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, Iowa
Department of Public Health, and the Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The mission of I-CASH is to
enhance the health and safety of Iowa’s agricultural community
by establishing and coordinating prevention and education
programs.
I-CASH
representatives and partner organizations establish programs,
give talks to organizations and companies, and provide
instructional courses to health care providers, businesses, farm
organizations, and state agencies in order to provide
information on how they can each play a role in promoting farm
safety. In addition, I-CASH publishes annual reports and
newsletters. It also hosts conferences and forums to discuss
rural health and safety issues.
