What: The “Train the Trainer” is a 2-day course taught in Spanish or English by trainers from the Washington State Department of Agriculture. This is a hands-on and interactive course designed to train agricultural employers, farm managers, supervisors and individuals on how to successfully administer in-house Worker Protection Standards and safety training of agricultural workers and pesticide handlers. It provides individuals with the knowledge and tools to conduct practical pesticide safety training that complies with state and federal requirements of the EPA’s Worker Protection Standard (WPS).
- First day: The group is divided into two smaller groups that rotate though four, 80-minute training modules.

The last portion of the workshop is devoted to offering participants the opportunity to become a WSDA WPS-Certified Trainer
