Spanish Worker Protection Standard: Pesticide Handler, Train the Trainer, Tool Kit
Author: Community Health Partnership of Illnois
Date Published: 2000
The purpose of this Implementation Guide is to offer useful information, resources and direction to governmental agencies, community-based organizations, and other groups interested in providing pesticide safety training to agricultural workers and handlers under the Worker Protection Standard. The purpose of this Train the Trainer Program is to prepare farmworkers to train other farmworkers--both general agricultural workers and pesticide handlers--under the US EPA Worker Protection Standard. This program is built on the premise that farmworkers themselves, particularly those that have experience handling pesticides, are best qualified to share that knowledge and train their co-workers in pesticide safety. The focus on pesticide handlers is very purposeful since the majority of the "Train the Trainer" programs currently available focus on training agricultural workers.
