FAO / ILO : Protect children from pesticides! A visual facilitator’s guide [2015]
Description:
The presentation provides an easy accessible training tool. It helps agricultural extension workers, rural educators, labour inspectors, and producer organizations in teaching farmers and their families how to identify and minimize risks at home and on the farm. They also learn how to recognize and respond to signs of toxic exposure.
The user-friendly guide has three main modules: (i) how children are exposed to pesticides; (ii) what the health risks are; and (iii) why children are particularly vulnerable, and what can be done to reduce those risks.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
Concise, easy to understand information is provided to facilitate the protection of children from pesticides. The visual tool is intended to raise awareness and build knowledge at local level on the issue of child exposure to pesticides.
