-------
The Environmental Protection Agency revised the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides in August
1992. The revised Worker Protection Standard requires that agricultural workers be given training in basic pesticide
safety.
Protect Yourself from Pesticides: Guide for Agricultural Workers was developed by the Envkonrnental Protection Agency; it
presents all of the information required for training under the Worker Protection Standard. Some States and Tribes have
additional requirements for pesticide enforcement in your area to obtain information needed to comply with all State 01
Tribal training requirements.
There are other materials about the Worker Protection Standard that are being developed by the RPA. They include a
safety poster, a handbook on pesticide safety for pesticide handlers, and a manual for agricultural employers. For more
information about safety training and about the revised Worker Protection Standard, contact
