Level 2 Award in the Safe Use of Pesticides (PA1) & Safe Application of Pesticides Using Hand Held Equipment (PA6)

People utilising pesticides, bystanders and the environment could be harmed by the unsafe use of pesticides. Exposure to pesticide concentrates or vapour drift could have severe negative effects. Whilst potentially harmful substances, pesticides are very successful and are widely used in land-based industries. Due to the harmful nature it is vital that they are only used by people who are properly trained in the safe use of pesticides.
