High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety

Established in 1991, the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (HICAHS) conducts research, education, and prevention/intervention programs to improve the health and safety of those working in agriculture, forestry and fishing in the High Plains and Intermountain Region of the United States. We conduct all our work in partnership with regional stakeholders to identify and respond to the most pressing worker health and safety threats in our region. This commitment to stakeholder engagement has paved the way for the successful translation of our research into industry practice, particularly with regional and national adoption of our evidence-based programming in the dairy industry. The High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety is funded by the National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and serves a six-state region: Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
