Worker Protection Standards, Train-the-Trainer Training

Wednesday, July 30, 2008, 3:00 PM – 4:45 PM

A training session will be conducted from 3:00 PM until 4:45 PM at the Extension Service Office in Arcadia on July 30, 2008. The session will cover the worker protection standards (WPS) information required under the rule to train employees as a pesticide handler or workers.

Please remember that all pesticide handlers must be trained prior to handling tasks. Employees that are classified as workers must be trained within five days of working in areas that have had pesticides applied within the last 30 days. All employees must be retrained every five years.

Two continuing education units (CEUs) will be offered to individuals with restricted use pesticide licenses. CEUs in the private, ag tree, row crop and ornamental and turf categories are offered for this WPS training class for those with a restricted use pesticide license.

To register for the class, please call the Extension Service Office in Arcadia at 863-993-4846. A registration fee of $5.00 per person is required.
