NASD is a national central repository of agricultural health, safety, and injury prevention materials for the agricultural community and especially for agricultural safety specialists. The mission of the NASD project is:

  • To provide a national information resource for the dissemination of information;
  • To identify and disseminate prevention information to agricultural workers on occupational hazards associated with injuries, death and illness;
  • To promote the consideration of safety and health issues into the management of agricultural operations for the purpose of reducing agricultural work-related injuries and illnesses; and
  • To provide a convenient way for members of the agricultural safety and health community to share educational and research materials with their colleagues

The expansion and maintenance of NASD is being funded by:

  • NIOSH through the Southern Coastal Agromedicine Center, and
  • USDA-CSREES (Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service)
