There are tens of thousands of farmers and agricultural workers in Israel. Most of them use pesticides to protect crops.
Even though the pesticides allow them to raise healthy, pest-free crops, using them poses several risks:
Health risks to pesticide applicators
Health risks to fruit and vegetable consumers
Cumulative environment risks
In this course, you’ll learn how to identify these risks and prevent them from materializing.
You’ll acquire tools, like the correct use of protective clothing and reading the pesticide’s label. You’ll learn the principles of administering first aid, if someone is harmed, and safety guidelines during pesticide application. We invite you to go on a digital journey through fields and orchards, in which you’ll learn everything you need to know about working safely with pesticides.
