-Knowledge for safer agriculture -

A New Name, A New Look, And A New Home

Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) - formerly the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP) - is an integrated national surveillance project of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association that guides and informs the national agricultural health and safety agenda.  

An Executive Steering Committee guides CAIR assigning priority to data quality, research and knowledge transformation. The members include:

Margaret Herbert Co-Chair
Public Health Agency of Canada

Pam Fuselli Co-Chair
Safe Kids Canada

Kathy Belton
Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research

Marie Larue
Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail.

Sally Lockhart
Spectrum Solutions

Niels Koehncke
Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture - CCHSA

Brigid Rivoire
Canadian Federation of Agriculture

With this new identity also comes a new logo.

Injury surveillance data management has moved to the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research (ACICR) from Queens University. Dr. Rob Brison of Queen’s passed the baton to Dr. Don Voaklander of ACICR to oversee the program’s surveillance activities.

What hasn’t changed: CAIR would not be the robust program it is today without the extensive work and dedication from a national network of volunteer collaborators and coordinators from each province who collect and provide the data. CAIR will continue to rely upon this network of volunteers, strengthening existing relationships and building new ones.

Vision
A pillar of agricultural safety
providing a comprehensive national system of surveillance for
fatal and non-fatal agricultural injuries

Mission
To provide Canada with national and provincial leadership in the prevention of agricultural
injuries as a world leader in gathering information, conducting research and translating
knowledge into products and services
