Worker Protection Standard
EPA's Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is a regulation aimed
at reducing the risk of pesticide poisonings and injuries among
agricultural workers and pesticide handlers. The WPS offers protections
to over three and a half million people who work with pesticides
at over 560,000 workplaces. The WPS contains requirements for
pesticide safety training, notification of pesticide applications,
use of personal protective equipment, restricted entry intervals
following pesticide application, decontamination supplies, and
emergency medical assistance.
The revised version of EPA's Recognition
and Management of Pesticide Poisonings is now available!
