EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has jurisdiction over employee protection relating to pesticides (which also includes herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides).
The EPA Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170, protects employees on farms from occupational exposure to agricultural pesticides which includes provisions for personal protective equipment (PPE), labeling, employee notification, safety training, safety posters, decontamination supplies, emergency assistance, and restricted field entry.
OSHA has no authority to issue any citations related to pesticide exposures, pursuant to Section 4(b)(1) of the OSH Act.

DOT for Public Highways Section 4(b)1 OSHA is
preempted by Section 4(b)1 of the OSH Act from enforcing its regulations if a working condition is regulated by another Federal agency.
For example:
While traveling on public highways, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has jurisdiction.
