We have created this site to help farmers, contractors and others in the agricultural community. In working with Utah's farmers and Farmworkers since 1992, we have found that there is a lot of confusion about the laws and regulations about Pesticides and Pesticide Safety Training. We found that there is a need for a place where our agriculture community can go to get their questions answered and to make sure they are protecting themselves, their workers and that they are in compliance with federal laws and EPA regulations. We hope that this will be a useful tool for you to find information on the laws & regulations, on health issues, emergency procedures and resources and an easy way to schedule a free training - the mandatory Pesticide Safety Training for all workers who come in contact with pesticides, or products with pesticide residues. We would like to thank the Utah Labor Commission's Workplace Safety Program for the grant funds that made this all possible.
