Description
Pesticide Applicator Training – 3 (Mix, Spill, Effects)
Pesticide Applicator Training – 3 (Mix, Spills, Effects) is designed for people who want to learn to be pesticide applicators and is based on the training needed in Oregon. It covers these 3 topics:
1 Mixing and Loading
• How to mix and load pesticides safely
• Protecting water sources at the mixing site
• Closed system mixing and loading systems
• Clean-up and container rinsing
2 Spill management
• The “Three C’s” of spill management
• Where to get help for managing a spill
• Spill kits and their contents
3 Health effects of pesticides
• The toxic effects of pesticides
• How pesticides enter your body
• Warning statements on labels
• Formulation of pesticides
Evidence base: The four pesticide applicator training topics designed to teach applicators to acquire knowledge and skills to be an effective applicator and to complete a licensing exam (Oregon example) were completed by 14 applicators, mostly in Spanish. All participants completed the training over a 1-week period and showed excellent learning on the post-tests compared to the pre-test. They indicated that they liked the class and their confidence increased for performing applicator procedures and to take a licensing exam.
