Worker Protection Standards Train the Trainer   Where: Polk County UF/IFAS Extension Office 1702 Hwy 17 S. PO Box 9005 Drawer HS03 Bartow, FL 33831 Driving Directions When: Monday November 8, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Add to my calendar   Dear Barbie, Attention agricultural operations:    Did you know federal law requires agricultural workers be trained in basic personal protection against pesticide exposure?    Did you know the farm owner is responsible for informing workers of certain specific items regarding pesticide applications?   Attend this training to learn and comply with WPS requirements and earn the needed credentials to perform your own in house WPS training.     Please note WPS requirements are generally directed towards operations producing an agricultural product and do not apply to roadside or landscape pesticide applications.    Also note those that currently hold a pesticide applicator license do not need to attend this training, though it may help in order to become more familiar with WPS requirements and resources.   See http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/health/worker.htm for more information on WPS requirements. Register Now! Sincerely,   Mary Beth Henry University of Florida IFAS Polk County Extension mbhenry@ufl.edu (863) 519-8677
