Just for You: Handlers

Your employer must provide you with certain protections.

You must be at least 18 years old.
Before you perform handler tasks on an agricultural establishment, you should receive training and access to site-specific information about the recent pesticide application(s).
When mixing and loading pesticides, your employer should provide materials for routine washing and emergency decontamination.
When handling pesticides with labels requiring eye protection, you must have immediate access to at least one pint of water at all times.
Within two years after performing handler tasks, you can request information about pesticides you may have been exposed to, either by asking directly or through a designated representative.
Your employer cannot retaliate against you for complying with the WPS.
