1 EPA Protection Standards for Commonly Used Pesticides for Flue-Cured Tobacco 2016 Charles S. Johnson, Extension Pathologist, Tobacco T. David Reed, Extension Agronomist, Tobacco The US-EPA Protection Standard is a regulation that requires actions to be taken to protect agricultural workers from the risk of pesticide-related illness or injury. To protect your workers, you must be aware of the Protection Standard (WPS) and know how to comply with its requirements. To plan effectively, you must also understand how compliance might affect your farming operation. The Standard requires that employers provide for their workers and pesticide applicators in three areas. 1) Training on pesticide safety. Information about the specific pesticides used on the farm must be provided. Much of this information must be posted in a central location; including specifics on recent pesticide applications (location of application, name of the pesticide, EPA registration number and active ingredient, time and date of application, restricted entry interval, (REI) and the time when workers may reenter the field). 2) Protection against exposure must be ensured. Employers must provide personal protective equipment and be sure it is properly used and cleaned. They must also be sure that workers are warned about treated areas (through oral warning, posting of field, or both) and that workers do not enter treated fields during restricted entry intervals (with some very specific exceptions). This may require careful scheduling of pesticide application and field work so that they do not conflict. Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements vary from pesticide to pesticide and may be different for applicator/handlers and mixer/loaders. Protective equipment is also required for entry into fields during the restricted-entry interval. Labels should be checked carefully for specific requirements. entry intervals also vary by pesticide, as stated on labels. 3) Employers must provide ways for their workers to mitigate or minimize the impacts of pesticide exposure. This includes making available decontamination sites and emergency assistance in case of exposure. The following table lists products, registration numbers, common names, restricted entry intervals, and posting/notification requirements for commonly used pesticides and growth regulators labeled for tobacco. The label may include more detailed information regarding PPE requirements. The information in this table is presented in good faith as a reference only. This information does not take the place of the product label; changes to label information can occur without notice. Always read and follow label directions. The list does not contain all products labeled for use on tobacco, but should include the vast majority of products used on tobacco in Virginia.

See product label for recommended chemical-resistant glove materials. 3 Refer to "Early Work Situations" in The Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides How to Comply, pages 59-61, "Short-Term Tasks," "Emergency Tasks," and "Specific Tasks Approved by EPA Through a Formal Exception Process." See pages for information on "Restrictions During and After Applications" including exceptions: 1) "Early With No Contact" and 2) "Early With Contact for Short- Term, Emergency," or "Specially Excepted Tasks." 4 Notification on Farms, Forests, and Nurseries: Refer to page 41, The Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides How to Comply. Unless the pesticide labeling requires both types of notification, notify workers orally or by posting of warning signs at entrances to treated areas. You must inform workers which method of notification is being used. Both Oral Warning and Posted Signs: Some pesticide labels require you to notify workers both orally and with signs posted at entrances to the treated area. If both types of notification are required, the following statement will be in the "Directions for Use" section of the pesticide labeling under the heading Agricultural Use Requirements: "Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas."
