The Pesticide Use Enforcement Division is responsible for
protecting human health and the environment by regulating pesticide
use. The Agricultural Commissioner's office is responsible for
issuing pesticide permits and overseeing both growers and agricultural
pest control businesses.
The laws regarding pesticide use and employee safety
are complex. The goal of The
Answer Book 2003 Manual is to approach the
subject using common sense. This manual covers, in plain
English, the basic regulatory requirements.
In many instances, compliance with regulation is easier
than it first appears. Growers have, over the years, discovered
ways to simplify compliance, and we include many of their
ideas. We begin with a page of definitions that are often
misunderstood; cover requirements for growers, including
employer responsibilities; and end with the most commonly
requested references and forms.
While this manual should simplify compliance, it will
not have the answer to every question. Please do not hesitate
to call our office with questions on your specific operation.
