True or False: General-use pesticides are not covered by the WPS.

General-use pesticides are indeed covered by the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). The WPS is designed to protect agricultural workers and pesticide handlers from the risks associated with pesticide exposure. It applies to all pesticides used in agricultural settings, which includes general-use pesticides in addition to restricted-use pesticides.

While restricted-use pesticides have more stringent regulations due to their potential for causing harm, general-use pesticides also pose risks and thus fall under the WPS for the same reasons of worker safety. The regulations ensure that workers receive necessary training, protections, and information about pesticide applications, which fundamentally supports safe working conditions regardless of the pesticide classification being used.

The assertions about only restricted-use pesticides or only pesticides applied in agriculture being covered do not accurately reflect the broader scope of the WPS, which applies to all pesticides in agricultural settings.
