National Farm Safety and Health Week

Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week. This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. President since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the first document.

ASAP Week

Each March, the American Farm Bureau organizes Agricultural Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) Week to highlight farm safety and provide education and training resources.  Throughout the week, there are daily themes related to important issues in agricultural health and safety, as well as a toolkit to promote specific topics and provide safety resources.
