 Pesticide
Safety Education Program provides training for people in Alaska who
apply restricted use pesticides, for people who apply any pesticides
on property other than their own or their employers, for people who
apply pesticides on public school (K-12) grounds and facilities. All
of these situations require the applicator to be a certified pesticide
applicator with the Alaska DEC Pesticide Branch.
The secondary purpose
of PSEP is to provide consumers and the public with information on
pesticide safety and pesticide hazards. The program encourages
communication between pesticide safety educators, pesticide
regulators, pesticide applicators and the public. PSEP is a workforce
training program and an environmental conservation program.
The Pesticide Safety
Training Program (PSEP) is a partnership between the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Web Link, the USDA
Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES)
Web Link, the State of Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation – Pesticide Branch (ADEC) Web Link, and the
University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service (UAF –
CES) Web Link.
