NIOSH and PLANET Partner

Working together, PLANET and NIOSH will use their efforts and expertise to advance the protection of workers, promote best practices, and encourage employers to develop and utilize occupational safety and health programs with effective prevention strategies and technologies to reduce the risks for injuries and illnesses in the green industry.

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have formed a collaborative partnership to improve occupational safety and health conditions at workplaces throughout the United States.

The organizations will work cooperatively to provide outreach, communication, and professional expertise regarding safety and health by promoting programs that address health and safety issues, participating at conferences, meetings, and other key events where there are occupational safety and health issues of mutual interest, developing articles for publications that highlight occupational safety and health topics.
