📌 Is your central posting location WPS-compliant?
A clearly organized, accessible central posting location is essential for protecting workers and meeting federal Worker Protection Standard (WPS) requirements. [extension.psu.edu]
✅ Make sure your posting area includes: • Pesticide application records (posted within 24 hours and kept for the required timeframe)
• Pesticide safety information / WPS poster with required local details filled in
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals, organized and up to date
📍 Remember: Workers must be able to easily access this information during work hours—this is key for both safety and compliance.
Taking the time to set up your central posting location properly helps reduce risk, improve communication, and keep your team informed and protected.
