US: Worker Protection Standard training requirements for growers

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is designed to reduce the risk of pesticide accidents with workers in agriculture. Some of the requirements set forth in the 2015 revision of the WPS were selected for delayed implementation to give growers time to ready themselves for compliance. The latest set of regulations from this revision went into effect Jan. 2, 2018.

Michigan State University put together a summary of essential training requirements and exemptions specified in the WPS along with some EPA-approved sources for training materials. Click here to read the summary.
