William E. Field studies safety risks faced by agricultural workers, with particular attention to grain-handling hazards such as entrapment and suffocation, farm injuries and fatalities among older workers, and equipment adaptations for workers with disabilities. His work often involves analyzing incident data to identify patterns and inform prevention strategies. This research could interest students concerned with occupational health, injury prevention, and safety engineering in farming contexts.
