NEW WEB SITE ON PESTICIDE SAFETY PROGRAMS
EPA has created a new web site, https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/safety, to provide farm workers, certified applicators, and health care providers with information on the Agency’s pesticide safety programs. This web site, which can be accessed in English and Spanish, provides specific information on applicator certification and training requirements and EPA’s Worker Protection Standard, including pesticide safety training, notification of pesticide applications, use of personal protective equipment and emergency medical assistance. The site also provides information on the Pesticides and National Strategies for Health Care Providers, an EPA-led initiative aimed at helping health care providers become trained in diagnosing and preventing pesticide related illnesses. The site is available at: https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/safety.
