Agricultural Pesticide Safety Training
To complete the WPS training requirement, workers must watch the worker training video annually. Handlers must watch both the worker and the handler training videos annually. In Pennsylvania the training must be supervised by a certified pesticide applicator. Handlers who are current certified applicators are exempt from the WPS training requirement.
These Worker Protection Standard (WPS) training videos were developed by the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health – Rural Health Farm Worker Protection Safety Program at Penn State University with funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry.
The videos are EPA-approved (EPA Worker PST 00026) for use in 2018 and beyond.
