The Canadian Agricultural Safety and Health Program (CASHP) assists in funding initiatives that support CASA’s mission to make the agricultural sector a safe place to work and live by helping producers identify and manage safety risks. CASHP’s advisory committee annually distributes funds provided under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Growing Forward initiative to qualified groups who submit applications according to deadlines set by CASA.
