Which statement about the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is consistent with the provided material?

• A. It protects farm workers not involved with pesticide use
• B. It protects only pesticide applicators
• C. It regulates pesticide labeling for consumer products
• D. It governs pesticide importation

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the Worker Protection Standard is about safeguarding agricultural workers from pesticide exposure, not just the people who apply pesticides. It sets safeguards so anyone who may be exposed in the work environment—such as farm workers in fields where pesticides have been used—is protected. That’s why the statement about protecting farm workers not involved with pesticide use fits: exposure can occur even if you’re not actively mixing or spraying pesticides, through drift, residues, or being in treated areas, so training, PPE, decontamination, and other protections apply to them too.

The other options don’t fit because the standard isn’t limited to applicators, it doesn’t regulate labeling for consumer products, and it doesn’t govern pesticide importation.
