Author: Vela Acosta, Martha
Date Published: 2001
The committee's mission was to generate recommendations designed to prevent or reduce those agricultural work hazards that affect the health and safety of adolescent farmworkers 12-17 years old. The objective was to provide specific guidance for research, education, and programs to enhance occupational health and safety. The committee hopes this report will serve as a guide in the development and implementation of applied research activities and intervention programs, recognizing the increasing ethnic diversity of the farm labor force and particularly of trans-national adolescent farmworkers.
