The Hands-on Training Kit

Safety is the "work of changing minds. And it is not done overnight." ~ Project participant


Use these hands-on sessions developed for four of the practical solutions during short “shop” or “tailgate” safety sessions. Or integrate them into a more comprehensive training class. The hands-on examples will reinforce the two key safety messages associated with each solution or substitute your own messages.

The kit contains a supply list, training tips, a copy of the solution, and a poster of the solution with two key safety messages for each of the following:

  • Thermo-wind meter for checking local weather conditions
  • Spill containment trays and tubs
  • Scrub brush for decontamination
  • Ammunition box for storing emergency eyewash

It also includes resources for obtaining supplies and additional pesticide safety information.

These materials are also available in Spanish.


We hope the kit will inspire you to incorporate solutions into your own training style, develop your own hands-on teaching tools, or discover new practical solutions.

We would greatly appreciate hearing about any solutions you develop and your experience with this guide and kit.
