Peach Council proposes DBCP handling by older workers
The National Peach Council urged OSHA to consider recruiting older workers or those who do not plan to have children to handle DBCP pesticide. The proposal, sent in a Sept. 12 letter by executive secretary Robert K. Phillips, argues for alternatives to bans that have halted production. Phillips, based in Martinsburg, WV, says government agencies overreact and seeks safer, voluntary staffing options amid sterilization and cancer risk concerns raised by Dow, Shell, and other manufacturers.
