PNASH, the Western Center, the Northwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety, and NIOSH/CDC sponsored the 2004 Agricultural Health and
Safety Conference. More than 110 conference participants from a broad range of disciplines heard 20 speakers address how occupational health and safety
can be integrated into sustainable agriculture practices and how research and outreach can contribute to that effort. It was the first major event in the nation
to focus on these goals.
