Here's the schedule for August 15th:
Did you know that a farm or ranch worker who enters a field (within 30 days of last pesticide application), who handles, and/or applies pesticides, must be WPS trained annually? Many, if not all farms regardless of organic or non-organic farming methods, use pesticides if applying a product to kill a beetle, bug, fungus, mite, rat, or weed.
Learn how to keep yourself and your workers safe with the proper use, storage, handling, application, and disposal of pesticides. This class is open to all employers, owners, managers, and agricultural employees on farms, ranches, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses. The class will cover the current Worker Protection Standard (WPS) provisions and requirements. |
