Review of Pesticide Use Hazards

Course Description

Pesticides are toxic substances that can threaten humans, non-target organisms and the environment. This one-credit course is approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and contains crucial training on the toxicity and hazards of pesticides.

Become familiar with pesticide classification and designations based on function/targeted pests, factors that influence toxicity and the three categories of toxicity as you learn how to prevent hazardous pesticide exposure.

Pest managers must be aware of the potential damage to wildlife, the environment and non-target organisms when applying pesticides, including human exposure, injury to pets, water contamination and phytotoxicity in plants. Prepare yourself to manage these and other hazards.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain pesticide toxicity and the different hazards of human pesticide exposure.
  • Recognize strategies to minimize excessive pesticide exposure risk to pets, plants and the environment.
  • State appropriate measures to take in case of pesticide accidents.
  • Describe the characteristics of various pesticide formulations.

Pesticide Emergency Management and Environmental Protection

Course Description

Apply pesticides safely. This one-credit course is approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and helps pest managers do just that by safeguarding people and the environment from pesticide hazards.

When employing pesticides, safety measures like a management plan, public notifications and warning signs help protect people, animals and plants. Whenever possible, pest managers should consider pesticide alternatives.

Take special care in the storage, mixing, and transportation of chemicals. Work safely by learning best practices for chemical selection, application techniques, equipment use, disposal, cleanup, recordkeeping and liability.

This course also includes instruction for first aid and emergency response in case of hazardous incidents. Leaks, spills and misapplications may expose humans to toxic chemicals which require immediate attention. Treatments for respiratory, eye, skin and clothing exposure ensure minimal damage.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify pesticide safety measures to protect people and the environment from pesticide exposure.
  • Describe appropriate ways to handle and apply pesticides.
  • Explain how to handle pesticide emergencies such as leaks, spills and misapplications.
  • Discuss effective equipment selection, safe application techniques and proper practices for cleanup and disposal.
  • Recognize different types of pesticide emergencies and corresponding first aid measures.
