What key factor is the Worker Protection Standard Regulation intended to reduce among agricultural workers and pesticide handlers?

1. Training Records

2. The label is...

3. Worker Protection Standard Regulation

4. Pre-harvest interval

The correct answer is: Worker Protection Standard Regulation

The Worker Protection Standard Regulations (WPS) is a key factor in reducing pesticide exposure among agricultural workers and handlers. This regulation requires employers to provide workers with necessary trainings, proper protective equipment, and follow specific protocols to avoid any potential hazards. Option A is incorrect because while training records are important, the primary goal of the WPS is to reduce pesticide exposure. Option B is incorrect because the label serves as a source of information for pesticide use, but it does not directly address reducing exposure. Option D is incorrect because pre-harvest interval is a specific time period between pesticide application and harvest, and while it is important for safety purposes, it is not the main focus of the WPS. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it directly addresses the intended goal of the WPS.
