| Summary: | The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is a Federal regulation designed to protect agricultural workers (people involved in the production of agricultural plants) and pesticide handlers (people mixing, loading, or applying pesticides or doing other tasks involving direct contact with pesticides). It has been in full implementation since 1995. This revised 4-page document provides general guidance to help you comply with the requirements of the Federal Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides, 40 CFR part 170, as amended in 2015. It also addresses specific information that agricultural establishments must display at a central location for their employees. Written by Frederick M. Fishel and Tatiana Sanchez, and published by the Department of Agronomy, November 2016.
