the Safe Use of DuPont insecticides: It's A Matter of Respect.
March 1994. Spanish and English. Includes two videos, posters,
a training notebook, and pencils. A product stewardship initiated
program which focuses on the day-to-day activities where
pesticide handlers and field laborers might encounter pesticides,
emphasizes the benefits of "respecting" DuPont insecticides and
using them safely. To help their citrus and vegetable customers
understand and comply with the Worker Protection Standard as it
relates to the safe use of DuPont insecticides. This is not a
substitute for official EPA Worker Protection training. This
program is designed to be administered either in conjunction
with WPS training or as a stand-alone program to reinforce the
safe use of DuPont insecticides.
