Worker Protection Standard compliance

The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is a set of regulations designed to safeguard agricultural workers from exposure to pesticides. It requires employers to provide workers with training on the safe handling of pesticides, access to protective gear, and information about pesticide applications and safety measures. Compliance ensures workers understand the risks and how to protect themselves, promoting a safer working environment. This standard plays a crucial role in preventing pesticide-related illnesses and injuries, supporting the health and well-being of those in the agricultural sector.
