The person who conducts the training for handlers must: e Currently be certified applicator of restricted use pesticides, or • Have completed a pesticide safety trainer program approved by the state or federal agency having jurisdiction. Due to the similarities in training, employees who have been trained as handlers do not have to be trained as workers. However, employees who have received training that meets the criteria for workers must receive additional training before they perform handler related tasks. EPA approved training materials are available free of charge, or on an on-loan at all county Cooperative Extension offices, and for sale through private suppliers such as Compter's (800-382-8473). These materials indude worker and handler training handbooks and videos in both Spanish and English. Training MUST be provided in a language that workers can understand. To meet this requirement, it is acceptable for a translator to convey the information being provided by a trainer who has met the previously mentioned criteria. Currently the WPS requires that handlers and workers must be retrained at least once every five years, counting from the end of the month in which the previous training was completed. In the future, the number of years between training and required retraining will most likely decrease. Compliance Checklist: Review training requirements on pages 25- 28 and 103-4 of ERA WPS How-To-Comply Manual. Obtain EPA approved training materials necessary to train your workers and handlers. Train handlers prior to any handling activity. Train workers before they accumulate more than 5 days of entry into areas where within the past 30 days a pesticide has been applied or a restricted entry interval has been in effect. ’Countdown To Compliance* is a cooperative educational effort of the PA Department of Agriculture, Penn State Office of Pesticide Education, Penn State Cooperative Extension Service, PA Farm Bureau, PA Fanners Union, PA State Grange, PA Vegetable Growers Assoc., PA Christmas Tree Growers Asaoc., Adams County Fruit Growers Assoc., PA Nurserymen’s Assoc., PA Farmer Magazine, and Lancaster Farming Newspaper.
