Who is our Training Suitable For?
Our courses are suitable for anyone using pesticides.
Why You Need Training
Use of pesticides is governed by the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 (FEPA), the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999 (COSHH).
The regulations require employers to ensure that pesticides are applied only by employees who have received appropriate training in their safe use. If you are self-employed, the regulations still apply.
In certain circumstances employees must also be assessed and acquire a Certificate of Competence.
