abstract="Proven, evidence-based strategies were highlighted during &quot;Practical Safety and Health Risk Management in Production Agriculture,&quot; a Workshop hosted by the Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America (ASHCA), January 7, 2011, at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta. The Workshop was co-located with AG CONNECT Expo 2011, a world trade show. The Workshop held special appeal to risk managers, agricultural employers, and insurers. Further, it provided insights for researchers and academics regarding future needs. The overriding principle that &quot;being safe equates to being profitable&quot; was evident. At a time when business-including agribusiness-is increasingly viewed as a major cause of social, environmental, and economic problems, employee safety can be embraced as a shared value by both business and society. Topics included culturally relevant training, safety competitions, training with a mobile safety trailer, reducing insurance premiums, and outcomes of a statewide agricultural safety certification program.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
