EPA is responsible for the regulation
of pesticides under the Federal Fungicide, Insecticide, and
Rodenticide Act. The Worker Protection Standard requires
agricultural employers to ensure that agricultural workers and
pesticide handlers are trained in basic safety practices and
informed via oral or written notification about pesticide
applications. Workers must also be informed when exceptions to
early entry apply. Training of pesticide handlers and workers is an
integral part of this program.
