ABSTRACT The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health (PNASH) Center, established in 1996 at the University of Washington, conducts research and promotes best occupational health and safety practices for Northwest farming, fishing and forestry. One of nine regional centers, PNASH works throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska integrating expertise from multiple disciplines, institutions and community partners. PNASH's Vision is, Research for healthy workers, strong communities & productive agriculture. The agricultural industries (farming, forestry, and fishing) are foundational to our rural communities and national productivity, yet rank among the most dangerous jobs. Fatality rates exceed the national average by 6-times for farming, 29-times for forestry, and 23-times for commercial fishing. Adding to the safety and health complexity of the worksite is the blended nature of work with community and family, and the dependency on seasonal and contract workers. The PNASH Center proposal is a collaborative effort, integrating research and education among University of Washington investigators and regional institutions and stakeholders. Our institutional partners for this new cycle include: Oregon State University; University of Idaho; and, Washington State University. Our faculty, staff, and students in these partnerships bring expertise in the fields of medicine, industrial hygiene, exposure science, epidemiology, animal and agricultural sciences, forestry, fisheries, engineering and education. Our proposed research includes: animal handling safety; forestry activity recognition; cannabis respiratory health; pesticide application technology, smoke and heat solutions, fishermen lifejacket program, and health indicator monitoring. Our research theme is, Growing agricultural safety and health with technology. Our research is rooted in partnerships with the workers and industries we serve, and builds on their strengths. We use best practices for community-engaged research to collaborate, enabling the Center's interdisciplinary capacity, while maintaining a deep respect for the communities’ cultures and lived experiences. As researchers, we have the capacity to enter and exit communities and therefore carry the responsibility of empowering communities beyond funding cycles. Exiting a research site is as important as entering it, particularly in those with marginalized workers. With this in mind, PNASH Outreach Core places particular emphasis on: (1) returning research progress, results, and workplace solutions in a timely manner with participants, partners, and the public, and (2) sustaining opportunities that empower organizations to adapt our safety and health resources for their own communities.

摘要 太平洋西北农业安全与健康（PNASH）中心于1996年在大学成立 华盛顿，进行研究，并促进最佳职业健康和安全的做法，西北 农业、渔业和林业。九个区域中心之一，PNASH的工作遍及华盛顿，爱达荷州， 俄勒冈州和阿拉斯加州，整合来自多个学科，机构和社区合作伙伴的专业知识。 PNASH的愿景是，研究健康的工人，强大的社区和生产性农业。 农业（农业、林业和渔业）是我们农村社区的基础， 国家生产力，但却属于最危险的工作之列。死亡率超过全国平均水平 6-农业为29倍，林业为29倍，商业渔业为23倍。为了安全和健康 工作场所的复杂性是工作与社区和家庭的混合性质，以及对 季节工和合同工。 该PNASH中心的建议是一个合作的努力，整合研究和教育之间的大学， 华盛顿调查人员和区域机构及利益攸关方。我们的机构合作伙伴， 周期包括：俄勒冈州州立大学;爱达荷州大学;和，华盛顿州立大学。我们的教师， 这些伙伴关系中的工作人员和学生带来了医学，工业卫生，接触等领域的专业知识 科学、流行病学、动物和农业科学、林业、渔业、工程和教育。我们 拟议的研究包括：动物处理安全;林业活动识别;大麻呼吸系统健康; 农药应用技术、烟雾和热解决方案、渔民救生衣计划和健康指标 监测.我们的研究主题是，用技术促进农业安全和健康。 我们的研究植根于与我们所服务的工人和行业的伙伴关系，并建立在他们的优势。 我们使用社区参与研究的最佳实践进行合作，使中心的跨学科研究成为可能。 能力，同时保持对社区文化和生活经验的深刻尊重。作为 研究人员，我们有能力进入和退出社区，因此承担责任， 让社区超越供资周期。离开一个研究网站和进入它一样重要， 尤其是那些边缘化工人的家庭。考虑到这一点，PNASH外展核心特别 重点：（1）及时反馈研究进展、结果和工作场所解决方案， 参与者、合作伙伴和公众;（2）保持机会，使组织能够适应我们的 为自己的社区提供安全和健康资源。
