Pesticide Registration Service Fees - Pesticide Worker Safety - Kevin Keaney, Chief Certification and Worker Protection Branch Field and External Affairs Division Office of Pesticide Programs Kevin Keaney, Chief Certification and Worker Protection Branch Field and External Affairs Division Office of Pesticide Programs

2 Pesticide Registration Improvement Act  Section 33(c)(3)(B)Worker Protection: “For each of the fiscal years 2004 – 2008, the Administrator shall use approximately 1/17 of the amount in the Fund (but not more than $1M, and not less than $750K, for any fiscal year) to enhance current scientific and regulatory activities related to worker protection.”

3 Program Objectives of Section 33(c)(3)(B) Improve Pesticide Worker Safety by:  Enhancing existing efforts to address and reduce risks associated with work with and around pesticides  Enhancing base funding for pesticide worker safety activities  Characterizing better the needs of affected workers  Generating improved data for risk management

4 Priority Setting Principles  Build on existing foundation and activities  Maximize risk reduction Pesticide worker focus  Advance all major program components Protect workers, Respond to incidents, Collect sound field data, Inform workers and public  Seek near term results

5 Pesticide Worker Safety: Major Program Components  PROTECT: Develop effective risk prevention by increasing worker knowledge and preparedness  RESPOND: Enhance worker ability to respond effectively to incidents  COLLECT SOUND DATA: Improve quality and usefulness of field information  INFORM: Use data and analysis for effective communication of safety measures and improved risk management decision-making

6 Agricultural Worker Protection Regulation Health Care Provider Initiative Certified Pesticide Applicator Regulation Pesticide Worker Safety: Strategic Framework

9 Pesticide Worker Safety: Major Program Components  PROTECT: Develop effective risk prevention by increasing worker knowledge and preparedness Risk Management Actions Label & Regulatory Decisions National Agricultural Worker Survey Hispanic Radio Network Right-to-Know Hazard Communication Training & Training Material

10 National Agricultural Workers Survey NAWS  Survey of US farm workers in seasonal agricultural services  Monitors changes in farm work force and to examine specific issues about farm workers  Standardized interview of farm workers to collect demographic, work, medical, housing and socioeconomic information  Three cycles (10-12 week duration) per year  Approx interviews per year  DoL and EPA funded

11 Hispanic Radio Network  167 Stations Covering 90% of U.S. Hispanic Population  Editorial - advice columns in 110 Spanish newspapers - 4,692,020 copies per week  Hispanic population 24% of the west, 11% of the south, 9% of the north, 4% of the mid west  91% of Hispanics listen to radio  79% of Hispanics listen to Spanish radio  On average, Hispanics age listen to radio 4.3 hours a day  Línea de Ayuda - Hispanic Helpline –  Bilingual specialists use database to link callers to over 12,000 local health clinic and educational programs for direct services nationwide  Specialists can collect data on callers to measure results of campaigns

12 Hazard Communication / Right to Know  EPA, not OSHA, is responsible for hazard communication / right-to-know protections for agricultural pesticide workers  Problems:  Language / cultural barriers between employers / employees  Low literacy audiences  Temporary / migrant workforce  Daily changes in workforce with contract labor  Technical nature of information  Models in other industrial sectors not applicable

13 Hazard Communication / Right to Know  Need effective methods to communicate information  Pilot projects to address various hazard communication issues / questions and determine most effective solutions  Partner with keys states (CA, FL, etc.) and organizations to carry out pilots  Pilots should provide more effective approaches to hazard communication than currently used (central information display, oral and posted warnings, etc.)  Pilots should help shape proposals for national hazard communication / right to know activity

14 Training and Training Material  Expand grant network of worker safety trainers  Pilot national train-the-trainer program  Modify materials to include hazard communication and right to know information  Review materials for cultural / language appropriateness  Develop / maintain a national pesticide worker safety training material catalog  Develop instructor’s handbook for trainer and worker training  Research optimum re-training intervals  Diversify training videos  Create material focused on preventing family exposure  Create industry specific training material  Field test modified / updated training material  Examine successful training verification models

15 Pesticide Worker Safety: Major Program Components  RESPOND: Enhance worker ability to respond effectively to incidents Centralized, well publicized field data entry point National Pesticide Information Center Bi-lingual staffed number Referral data base

16 National Pesticide Information Center  # service in the US, PR, & VI.  EPA grant to Oregon State U. extension service  Diagnostic & crisis management assistance to medical community involving pesticide incidents.  Accurate / complete information on all inquiries considered to be pesticide incidents  Refers callers for: Pesticide incident investigation Emergency human treatment Health & environmental effects Human poisoning emergencies  Pesticide Incident Database  Case Profiles

17 Pesticide Worker Safety: Major Program Components  COLLECT SOUND DATA: Improve quality and usefulness of field information Field Data Collection Data Integration SENSOR Poison Control Centers FIFRA 6a2 Data

18 SENSOR  State-based surveillance  “Sentinel” case identification and follow-up  Timely opportunities for prevention / intervention  Developed state-based models for national implementation  Standardized case definition, variables, and severity index  Funding by NIOSH / CDC / EPA

19 Poison Control Center Data

20 Occupational Pesticide Incidents Reported to Poison Control Centers * Cases% Pop. Served Estimate for U.S.        * Incidents include unintentional cases receiving follow-up with minor, moderate, major or fatal medical outcome and exposure to one pesticide product. Note: decline of 47% reported cases and 55% estimated cases for the U.S.

21 FIFRA 6a2 Data  FIFRA Sec. 6 Administrative Review; Suspension (a) Existing stocks and information  (1) Existing stocks ….  (2) Information - If, at any time after the registration of a pesticide, the registrant has additional factual information regarding unreasonable adverse effects, on the environment, of the pesticide, the registrant shall submit such information to the Administrator.

22 Pesticide Worker Safety: Major Program Components  INFORM: Use data and analysis for effective communication of safety measures and improved risk management decision-making EPA analysis of incident data Public communication  Annual report  Adjust protection component

23 Next Steps  Coordinate early stage activity with internal and external participants and stakeholders  Solicit suggestions for additional mid stage activity to generate facts and enhance science for pesticide worker safety  Target Schedule Meetings to solicit reactions and endorsement – March through May Meetings to inform about and to describe the plan – May through August Begin implementing plan components - June
