Safe use of pesticides in non-agricultural workplaces

​These guidelines were developed as a guide for people working in pest management and related industries including: 

  • pest management technicians

  • government workers

  • grounds maintenance persons

  • weed spraying contractors

  • green keepers

They offer practical and informative guidance on how to comply with legislation relating to the use, transport, storage and disposal of pesticides.

The guidelines were written by the Pest Management Industry and Government Sector Advisory Group (2004) which is made up of representatives from the pest management industry and state government licensing agencies.
