Pesticides and Worker Safety

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1992
AbstractA key problem in pesticide regulation is uncertainty about health risks. Trade‐offs between economic benefits and worker health safety are examined using an empirical illustration. Alternative decision rules for regulation under uncertainty are considered: a safety fixed rule, which protects individuals from excessive health risks, and ...

The Pesticides Safety Precautions Scheme

1965
Eleven years ago two important events occurred in respect to the safe use of pesticides used in agriculture and food storage in Great Britain. Both arose from the activities of an official working party set up in July 1950 and given three tasks. Its first was: “To make recommendations for the promotion of the safety of workers in the agricultural use

Pesticide tolerances and their relevance as safety standards

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1992
Following an investigation of the relationship between pesticide tolerances and safety, it is concluded that pesticide tolerances are not relevant as safety standards. This conclusion is based upon the findings that theoretical exposures to legal levels of pesticides in the diet may pose greater than negligible risks, while exposures to most illegal ...
