Central Posting and WPS Posters

The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) requires growers to have a central posting area that has specific information posted for employees to see.  The central posting area needs to be in a place where workers congregate such as a time clock or a breakroom. One of the items that needs to be posted is a certified pesticide information poster or equivalent materials.  This poster has changed and the new poster can be printed in various formats from this website:  http://pesticideresources.org/wps/cp.html  It comes in Spanish and/or English in different sized formats.  You can print them for free.  I would suggest you laminate it after you print it.  You can also purchase one here https://npsecstore.com/collections/posters  if you cannot print one on your own.

Along with the poster there are few other things that need to be displayed at the central posting site.  Here is a list of them below:

1. Hazard information
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each agricultural pesticide product applied in the last 30 days, or longer if there was a restricted-entry interval (REI).
2. Pesticide Application Information (Records)
3. These records must be posted for each agricultural pesticide product applied in the last 30 days, or longer if there was a REI. Records must contain:
• Name of the pesticide product(s) applied,
• Active ingredient(s) of the pesticide product(s) applied,
• EPA registration number(s) of the pesticide product(s) applied,
• Restricted-entry Interval (REI),
• Crop or site treated,
• Location and description of the treated area(s), and
• Date(s) and time(s) application started and ended.
