Fit to Farm	The goal of Fit to Farm is to improve the health of North Carolina's farmers, fishermen, foresters, their workers, and their families using a personalized approach. Program components include health screenings; tailored occupational health and wellness information; assistance with selection, fit, and use of personal protective equipment; and support services for issues such as insurance coverage, caring for aging family members, and work-related stress.
First on Scene	The First on Scene program was designed to teach individuals who are first on scene at a farm incident how to respond safely. The program is designed as a 3-hour class but can be tailored to the needs of any farm.
Certified Safe Farm of North Carolina	Certified Safe Farm is a comprehensive agricultural health and safety program for farmers, family members, and employees that saves lives, prevents injury, improves health, and saves costs. The program involves a comprehensive on-farm safety review, occupational health and wellness screenings, and in-person education with producers during health and safety visits.
