Organization Overview
WCAHS is one of 12 agricultural health and safety centers in the U.S. established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) with the mission to improve the health and safety of agricultural workers in the West through innovative research, interactive trainings, and tailored outreach.
WCAHS scientists developed state of the art solutions for agricultural health and safety that serve as models for best practices and have been adopted at the regional, national, and international levels, including real-time pesticide exposure bioassays, ergonomically improved tools to reduce cumulative trauma injury in agricultural workers, and a state-mandated heat-related illness education campaign.
