Which entity is not a party to the Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to employee protection at the pesticide workplace?

In the context of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding employee protection at pesticide workplaces, the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) is typically involved due to its mandate to oversee labor conditions. The California Environmental Protection Agency (CA EPA), the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), and various stakeholder groups such as the CAC and Sealers Association are also generally parties to such memorandums as they oversee pesticide usage regulations and worker safety on agricultural sites.

The CA EPA does not directly handle employee protection regulations related to pesticide usage, as its broader focus is on environmental protection policies rather than specific employee rights or workplace safety oversight. This makes it less relevant in the MOU aimed specifically at the protection of employees in agricultural or pesticide-related roles.

In contrast, the other entities mentioned, including the CAC and Sealers Association, DPR, and DIR, play more direct roles in enforcing workplace safety laws and pesticide regulations. Thus, they are typically considered necessary parties in agreements focused on worker protection within pesticide workplaces.
