Sanitation Requirements: For food and general safety purposes, all workers will be required and expected to follow common sanitary practices at all times.

General Conditions: On the first work day, the employer will provide specific instructions and/or training (6 hours) in the proper way to perform the crop activity. Thereafter, the worker will be expected to perform the task with diligence as instructed.
