The Childhood Agricultural Safety Network (CASN) was formed to strengthen partnerships and collaborations of national organizations dedicated to keeping children safe on the farm. These organizations represent the agricultural community, child injury prevention, and minority-serving associations.

The mission of CASN is to "set a vision and provide leadership and coordination of childhood agricultural injury prevention efforts in a manner that is both geographically and ethnically diverse".

Agricultural Child Labor Law Proposed Changes

The National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety published the Agricultural Child Labor Hazardous Occupations Orders Comparison fact sheet, which compares the present rules with the 2011 proposed revisions. Click for more details on how to provide feedback on the public register.

Additional explanation of these proposed changes can be found in a webinar presented on October 13 by Mary Miller, titled: "Understanding the Proposed Changes to the Agricultural Child Labor Regulations". More details are available at http://www.childagsafety.org/Schedule.htm

Funding for CASN is received from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
