DEC Special Permit Training
April 8, 2014
Newark, NY
DEC Special Permit allows non-certified workers to apply and handle federally restricted use pesticides. The Special Permit does not relieve the responsibility of the certified applicator that supervises these employees, but it does relieve the requirement of "on-site, within voice contact"supervision while federally restricted pesticides are being applied. Several of the pyrethroid, organophosphate, and carbamate insecticides such as Warrior, Capture, Diazinon, Lorsban and Lannate, and herbicides such as Gramoxone are federally restricted-use materials.
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.
