IUF Pesticides Index 4

International Union of Agricultural Workers: Pesticides Risk Reduction e-Programme

"Pesticide skills" are those actions and procedures that reduce risks of pesticides.

Organising for Pesticide Reduction

There are 3 levels in most organisations

Full Time Officers are considered level 4,

Local/Lay representatives are level 3,

Members working on the land are level 2.

This is how the various levels at work behave in relation to health and safety. We can use this to work out what we - in the union, need to do to control pesticides better.

This is the sort of functions that are carried out by the different roles within the IUF organisation..
