Safe Use of Pesticides Course PA1 C&G

Pesticides are very widely and successfully used in land-based industries, but they can be potentially harmful substances, therefore it is essential that they are handled, applied and stored correctly. It is a legal requirement for all those using Pesticides to hold the appropriate City and Guilds/NPTC PA units.  This therefore makes training essential and our Safe Use of Pesticides course will guide you through the key elements of using pesticides safely, and prepare you for the PA1 online assessment.
