Subject: OHNs as private providers in agriculture


Hello all!      I am a nurse, working on my MPH/MS at the U of Minnesota. I

> hope that you might be able to help me and/or could pass this note on to

> a nurse in your department. I am working on a paper looking at whether

> there is a niche for OHNs as private providers in agriculture. There is

> not much in the literature on the subject, so I have been contacting

> various people to get their opinions on a few questions.

> Are OHNs working in ag/health & safety in the private sector, either

> with a Occ/Health clinic, as a consultant to an insurance company, or

> even as an independent consultant?

> Would someone other than an OHN be more appropriate for such a role?

> If a nurse wanted to try to enter such a market, what would he or she

> need to do to be successful.

> I would appreciate any ideas or insight you may have on this subject.

> Let me know if you know anyone who might have a comment/thought.     

> Thank you   Calvin Greer
