Spanish language EPA curriculum for training of pesticide handlers. It presents the information which is required by the EPA Worker Protections Standard (WPS). There are 10 units which include information about pesticide exposure, poisoning, first aid, health effects, protective equipment, and the labeling, storing, cleaning, and disposing of pesticides. Each unit has objectives, opening questions, a short passage with factual information, and questions for review and discussion. The type is large, the writing is moderately simple, and there are lots of pictures and white space. At the end, there are suggested responses to the discussion questions in all units, an overview of pesticide regulation, notes for trainers, official information about the WPS protections, and a list of regional EPA offices.
