Pesticide Safety Education Programs
EPA supports land-grant university Pesticide Safety Education Programs (PSEPs) for the education and training of certified pesticide applicators. PSEPs provide pesticide applicator training on the safe use of restricted use pesticides by applicators in agricultural, commercial and residential settings. Most states have a PSEP. Contact the PSEP in your state or territory for information on training and study materials.
