Poultry groups join forces on safety, health

Three poultry industry organizations have partnered to form the Joint Poultry Industry Safety and Health Council to streamline efforts in the area of worker safety and health:
National Chicken Council

National Turkey Federation

U.S. Poultry & Egg Association
This council will essentially replace the existing NTF/NCC Safety and Health Committee by combining with the respective committee at USPOULTRY. The JPISHC will represent the entire poultry industry on issues relating to worker safety and health.
In a similar move, NCC, NTF and USPOULTRY have also formed the Joint Poultry Industry Human Resources Council. This council will essentially replace the existing NTF/NCC Human Resources Committee by combining with the respective committee at USPOULTRY. Arrangements for committee chairmanship and staff support from the industry associations is being handled in the same way for the JPIHRC as it will be for the JPISHC.
