True or False: An employer where pesticides are applied must have, but not display, a WPS poster and relevant information available for workers.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Depends on the pesticide used

Answer: (B)

The statement is false because under the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), employers are required to display a WPS poster prominently in locations where pesticides are applied. This poster serves as an important communication tool to inform workers about their rights and safety information concerning pesticide use. Additionally, relevant information such as restricted entry intervals (REIs) and safety data must be readily accessible to all workers. Simply having this information available without displaying it does not meet compliance requirements. Hence, for WPS adherence, both the poster and related information must be visibly posted for workers to ensure their health and safety while working in proximity to pesticides.
