Understanding Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for Agricultural Workers | Hemp Temps University

Welcome to the "Understanding Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for Agricultural Workers" lesson, an essential part of the Cannabis Regulations and Compliance module under "The Basics" category at Hemp Temps University. The WPS is a critical federal regulation aimed at protecting agricultural workers from pesticide exposure and the associated health risks. This video provides an overview of the WPS, helping you prepare for the WPS handler certification, though it does not serve as official certification. The WPS certification is divided into two main types: worker and handler. We emphasize the importance of obtaining the handler certification, as it broadens your opportunities within the industry. The certification process, managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), involves instructional videos and a seven-chapter course via web conference to attain handler certification. In this lesson, you'll learn about the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), which minimizes the risks of pesticide exposure by informing workers about pesticide hazards, training them in safety measures, and ensuring they understand their rights and employer responsibilities. We also cover who is covered by the WPS, the importance of proper training, understanding pesticides, protecting against exposure, responding to exposure incidents, and preventing retaliation against workers who report violations. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a solid understanding of the WPS and its critical role in safeguarding agricultural workers, their families, and the environment. We encourage all Hemp Temps workers to schedule their WPS certification web conference as a crucial step towards achieving WPS handler certification and ensuring safety and compliance in the industry.
