Under these regulations, anyone who uses pesticides in the course of their work must have received training in using them in a safe, efficient and humane way and have the knowledge, skills and experience needed for the duties they will perform. Also, any person who uses a pesticide must use it only on the land, crop, structure, material or other area being treated.
Pesticides are useful to help ensure that we have a good supply of safe, high quality and reasonably priced locally grown foodstuffs, while maintaining the safety of the environment. However, as these chemicals are designed to disrupt life processes, risks can be associated with their use.
