What does Worker Protection Standard (WPS) aim to reduce?

  1. Risk of fire accidents

  2. Healthcare costs

  3. Risk of pesticide poisoning

  4. Environmental pollution

The correct answer is: Risk of pesticide poisoning

The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) is a set of regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect workers from harmful exposure to pesticides on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses. These regulations aim to reduce the risk of pesticide poisoning for workers, as pesticides can have harmful effects on human health. The other options, while also important to address, are not the focus of WPS. WPS specifically targets the protection of workers from pesticide exposure, rather than reducing the risk of fire accidents or healthcare costs. WPS also does not directly address environmental pollution, which is regulated by other laws and regulations.
