December 1993/ January 1994 



Dear Restricted Use Pesticide Applicator: 



As many in the agricultural community are aware, a new Worker Protec- 

 tion Standard is being phased in that will affect managers of farms, for- 

 ests, nurseries, and greenhouses who use pesticides in the production of 

 agricultural plants, and who hire or contract for the services of agricul- 

 tural workers or pesticide handlers to do tasks related to the production 

 of such plants. 



One of the requirements of this standard is that such workers and 

 handlers will have to be given pesticide safety training. This training may 

 be done by their employers; but only after employers have themselves 

 been designated by the Division of Pesticide Control as being qualified 

 to conduct such training. In order to be qualified you must (1) be a certi- 

 fied pesticide applicator and (2) attend and successfully complete a 

 pesticide safety-training seminar. 



To this end, UNH Cooperative Extension is scheduling training ses- 

 sions that will be open to certified pesticide applicators. Attendance of 

 one of these sessions will enable you to become qualified to train your 

 own workers in time for the start of the 1994 growing season — and in 

 time to be in compliance with the worker- and handler-training require- 

 ments of the standard, which become enforceable in April. 



It must be emphasized that these sessions are a one-time offering, af- 

 ter which you may only become a qualified safety trainer through the 

 certifications process. If you wait to do it through certification, however, 

 you may find it difficult to become qualified in time, because of the 

 heavy certification test schedules in the spring. 



If, therefore, you employ non-family workers and/or uncertified pesti- 

 cide handlers who perform tasks related to the production of you agricul- 

 tural plants (which include food, trees, turf, ornamentals, seeds, etc.) you 

 are urged to attend one of these sessions. 



For you convenience, five sessions are being offered at different times 

 and locations. You need only attend one of them, as best fits you sched- 

 ule. There will be no pre-registration. The charge for attending is $10.00 

 per person. Checks should be made payable to UNHCE Entomology De- 

 partment. Time is limited and the availability of food varies, so we sug- 

 gest that you bring a lunch with you.
