All workers, including family members that work on the farm, are part of this study. Reporting could help prevent similar tragedies from happening to other farm families and farm workers. We can learn from the tragedy of others. The MSU Investigators are experienced health and safety professionals, who have received training in conducting farm-related death investigations. The team includes an Industrial Hygienist, a Farm Safety Specialist, and an Occupational Medicine Physician.
More details are available in the brochure at each county extension office.
The information collected will be used to educate others concerning the type of event that resulted in a fatal injury and how to something similar from happening at another farm. This information is for educational purposes only. MSU is an Affirmative-Action, Equal Opportunity Institution.
