Agriculture Worker Protection Standard Online Virtual Class

 The Agricultural Worker Protection Standards (WPS) provides rules and regulations to protect agricultural workers from pesticide exposure from the workplace.  The implementation of these standards and enforcement is done by our local Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service employees.  If you are a employer at a farm, nursery, greenhouse, or forest you will need to give your employees specific WPS training.  You are allowed to administer the teaching if you either have a valid restricted use pesticide license or you have passed the WPS Train-the-Trainer training.  UF/IFAS Extension now offers this class virtually so you can take it whenever you like.  Here is the link to the class if you are interested.  WPS EPA-Approved Train the Trainer Course - Farm Labor Education (instructure.com) The cost is $35.00.
