What must employers provide to agricultural workers and pesticide handlers under the Worker Protection Standard?

Employers are required to provide pesticide safety training and detailed information about pesticide applications to agricultural workers and handlers under the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). This is crucial for ensuring that workers are informed about the potential hazards of pesticides they may encounter in their work, as well as the safe handling practices to follow.

Training typically covers a range of topics, including how to recognize pesticide exposure symptoms, understanding label information, and learning about the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE). By equipping workers with this critical knowledge, employers not only comply with regulatory requirements but also promote the health and safety of their workers, minimizing the risk of pesticide-related incidents.

The other options, such as providing insurance and adequate housing, while important in other contexts, do not specifically address the requirements laid out by the WPS. Breaks and provisions for communication tools like cell phones or internet access may be part of a good working environment but are not mandated by the Worker Protection Standard itself.
