Best Answer

Pesticides can harm farm workers in many different ways if the workers themselves do not take proper precautions. Pesticide applicators also need to take precautions to ensure they do not inadvertently harm other workers. Workers need to understand what pesticides can do to them and what protection equipment and methods are available to them. The US Environmental Protection Agency has established a set of rules to help protect all farm workers. See the related link below for more information.
