Health and safety are primary considerations in all projects and activities. Safety in
using machinery, constructing or modifying structures, working with animals, and using
household and agricultural chemicals is promoted through educational materials, technical
support, workshops, and client contact. The indoor air quality program (described below)
addresses confined space issues and indoor air pollution issues through training programs
and distribution of educational materials.
