Worker Safety

Beginning in April 2019, AgSafe undertook outreach and training efforts to provide growers across the Hawaiian Islands, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, with hands-on,  interactive pesticide safety training and materials.  The classes addressed:

• • General Pesticide Safety
  • Hazard Communication
  • Worker Protection Standard Training Elements
  • Decontamination
  • Personal Protective Equipment
  • Pesticide Application Compliance
  • Employer Responsibilities
  • Employee Rights
• THE TRAINING ALSO INCLUDES  A GROWER COMPLIANCE KIT WITH:
  • Visual aids and training tools to use with employees
  • Sample compliance and training forms
• THE COMPLIANCE KIT IS  AVAILABLE BELOW:
• To download the Pesticide Safety Training Materials in different languages—including Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, Ilokano and English—right click on the individual links and save the PDF files to your desktop. If you have questions on how to use the kit or relative to pesticide safety in general, please contact AgSafe at [email protected] or by calling 209-526-4400.  Please note that the kit was originally produced in April 2019 and as such, reflects the requirement of the Worker Protection Standard at that time.  Updates to the standard may have occurred since then and subsequently, these materials would not be current.
