Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi everyone. I just posted some demographic questions, but now I will get to the meat of my presentation (I am a University of Washington student doing a presentation on the WPS Training section), and ask a couple of questions about the training. If you can give me any insight to anyone of these questions, I would really appreciate it! How is training comprehension established for workers that aren't literate? What kind of problems are there when training illiterate workers? How is worker training accomplished when the workers first language is not Spanish or English? I read something about an EPA project with Mexico regarding pesticide training - does anyone know anything about that? How are records kept on trained employees? Do many farms give their employees training cards or certificates? From those that have seen training on the farms- are the trainings usually done with videos? What is the workers' reaction to these videos? Can anyone refer me to any info on the web regarding WPS training (besides the WPS itself and Alice Larson's document posted on the EPA website)? Where do you think WPS training is lacking? Thanks for your assistance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is an attorney at the Region 10 office, and covers both pesticide and lead poisoning issues, among others. She should be able to refer you to any work done through EPA. Her address is: U.S. EPA, Region 10, 811 SW 6th, Portland, OR 97204 Narda Tolentino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
