This completely revised edition, published in January 2000, provides detailed information for training employees to select, use, handle, store, and dispose of pesticides safely and properly. The totally revised and updated text covers recent changes to federal and state pesticide laws, including the federal Worker Protection Standard. Like the first edition, emphasis is placed on prevention of groundwater contamination, protection of endangered species and wildlife, and reduction of environmental impact. It is an essential reference and study tool that applies to agricultural, structural, landscape maintenance, greenhouse and nursery, right-of-way, forest, aquatic, demonstration and research, public health, and regulatory pesticide-use situations. |
