Regulatory agencies will enforce the requirements of the 1992 Federal Worker Protection Standard when you use a pesticide product with labeling that refers to the Worker Protection Standard. If you do not comply with the Worker Protection Standard requirements, you will be in violation of Federal law, since it is illegal to use a pesticide product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This manual, in its official Federal format, provides the information necessary to comply with the requirements of the 1992 Worker Protection Standard. This "How To Comply" manual will help you determine whether you are covered by the WPS, give you detailed information on how to comply with the WPS requirements, including exceptions, restrictions, exemptions, options, and examples, and provide you with a "Quick Reference Guide"--a simplified route to compliance that focuses on maximum requirements.
