DEC Special Permit Training
April 8, 2014
Newark, NY
At Special Permit trainings, non-certified applicators review Worker Protection Safety (WPS) handler training. They also learn about the potential hazards to non-target species and the environment, for each federally restricted-use pesticide. They also learn steps required on pesticide labels to prevent the risk of exposure to the applicators and non-target locations. Trainees receive a packet with summaries of this information.
A DEC Special Permit is valid for one year and needs to be renewed every year unless the pesticide applicator becomes certified.
Please pre-register your non-certified applicators for this training by April 3 using the registration form.
