Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP)

The Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) is designed to educate pesticide applicators—those who use chemicals to control pests—on safe handling, application, and disposal practices. It aims to protect human health, the environment, and plants by promoting responsible pesticide use. PSEP provides training on understanding pesticide labels, potential risks, and regulations. This program is essential for ensuring that applicators are knowledgeable and skilled, reducing the chances of accidents and negative impacts on communities and ecosystems. Through PSEP, participants gain important certifications and learn best practices for effective and safe pest management.
