Abstract
In late 1992, a grant was received from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to conduct training programs on Safe Handling of Pesticides for employees at ten Denver-area greenhouses. The training program met Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for employee right-to-know and Hazard Communication Standards. Sessions in Spanish and English were held, involving two video presentations, discussions of Material Safety Data Sheets, and procedures in each greenhouse for employees' health and safety. Before and after quizzes were given to the English-speaking participants and indicated an average increase of 5.2 points (out of 27 possible) after program participation. Evaluations indicated that, on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 high), participants thought the training would be “helpful when I handle hazardous materials” - 4.4; “presentation was clear and understandable”- 4.6; and “understand Hazard Communication Standard”- 4.5. Due to illiteracy among many in the Spanish-speaking sessions, evaluation was extremely difficult
