    This part contains a standard designed to reduce the risks of 

illness or injury resulting from workers' and handlers' occupational 

exposures to pesticides used in the production of agricultural plants on 

farms or in nurseries, greenhouses, and forests and also from the 

accidental exposure of workers and other persons to such pesticides. It 

requires workplace practices designed to reduce or eliminate exposure to 

pesticides and establishes procedures for responding to exposure-related 

emergencies.
