Worker Protection Standard Information The Environmental Protection Agency has revised the 1992 Agricultural Worker Protection Standard regulation to increase protection from pesticide exposure for agricultural workers and their families. Definitions: Worker – people who perform hand-labor tasks in pesticide treated crops, such as harvesting, thinning and pruning on farms or in greenhouses, nurseries, or forests. Handler – person who mixes, loads, and applies pesticides, cleans or repairs pesticide application equipment, or assists with the application of pesticides.
Who will this effect? Agricultural employers on crop-producing establishments (farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses) and commercial pesticide handling establishment employers (co-ops) will have to meet this new revised rule.
Minimum Age A minimum age of 18 will be established for pesticide handlers and early entry workers (who enter the field during restricted-entry interval). Members of owner’s immediate family are exempt from this requirement and there is no minimum age for workers entering fields after the REI expires.
Pesticide Safety Training Annual Mandatory training – intended to inform farm workers on the required protections. This increases the likelihood that protections will be followed. There will be no grace period for workers. A worker must be trained before they work in an area where pesticides have been used or a restricted-entry interval has been in effect in the last 30 days. Currently, training is required once every five years. This training will cover additional topics including information on how to reduce take-home exposure from pesticides on work clothing. Compliance for training on new content must be met by January 1, 2018. A record of when this training is provided must be kept for two years.
Hazard Communication Employer must display application information and safety data sheets (SDSs) at central location within 24 hours of the end of the application and before workers enter the treated area. Display both for 30 days after Reentry Interval (REI) expires. Keep application information and SDS for 2 years from end of REI and make available to workers, handlers, designated representative or treating medical personnel.
Notification of Treated Areas Post warning sign if REI is greater than 48 hours (outdoor applications) or 4 hours (enclosed space applications like greenhouses), otherwise option for posting or oral notification unless label requires both.
Basic Pesticide Safety Information Display pesticide safety information at a central location and at sites where decontamination supplies are located at, if decontamination supplies are at a permanent site or at a location with 11 or more workers and handlers. The pesticide safety information can be posted in any format, but must include new content.
Personal Protective Equipment Employer must provide respirator and fit testing, training and medical evaluation if the labeling requires a respirator for the handler. Require recordkeeping of completion of fit test, training, and medical evaluation.
Suspend Application Handler must suspend application if a worker or other person is in the application exclusion zone (an area up to 100 feet around the application equipment).
Decontamination Supplies Provide routine decontamination supplies (1 gallon water for each worker and 3 gallons for each handler and each early entry worker). Provide eyewash system for mixers/loaders if labeling required protective eyewear.

Private Applicator Information The private applicator exam is currently an open book test. The initial exam must be taken at an Extension Office. The certification is good for 5 years and then a renewal exam will be mailed directly to the applicator. (NOTE: Agents do not have a key for the PR02 version of the test). An applicator must pass with a 75%, which means that they have to get 57 questions correct or they can miss a total of 18 questions. DO NOT ALLOW APPLICATORS TO WRITE ON THE TEST $25.00 check made payable to: Kansas Department of Agriculture Have the applicator fill out the application for Private Applicator Certification Mail check, form, and exam answer sheet to: Records Center Kansas Department of Agriculture 1320 Research Park Drive Manhattan, KS 66502 It takes approximately a week to fourteen days to receive the certificate. If the applicator needs to purchase chemical right away you can grade the test and issue an Emergency Certification. The white copy goes to the applicant, the green is mailed in and the office keeps the yellow copy! NOTE: The test book is the property of the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Removal of the exam from the extension office by unauthorized persons is prohibited.
Common Questions
1. What should be in your office?
a. Private Applicator Manual MF531
b. Exam Answer Sheets P1104
c. Private Applicator Examination Exam Code PR01 (NOTE: If you have copies of any old exams, please
destroy them). P1103
d. Applicator Information Form PM14
e. Emergency Certification for Private Applicators
2. Where do I get additional copies of these items?
Additional copies of the Private Applicator Manual MF531, Exam Answer Sheets P1104, Private Applicator Examination P1103, and the Applicator Information Form PM14 can be ordered through the KSU Bookstore. The Emergency Certification Forms have to be ordered through the Kansas Department of Ag at (785)564-6735.
3. Where can I find a list of the private applicators in my county?
They can be found at http://www.ksre.k-state.edu/pesticides-ipm/private-applicator.html or by going to the Kansas Department of Agriculture website.
Chemigation Information Chemigation is the application of pesticides, fertilizers, or effluent by blending with fresh water through an irrigation system. A Chemigation User’s Permit (CUP) must be obtained before chemigating. The permit is valid for one year, and renewal materials are mailed annually in December. To receive a Chemigation User’s Permit, each applicant for a permit must be a Certified Chemigation Equipment Operator (CEO) or employ at least one individual currently certified as a Chemigation Equipment Operator. Chemigation License Packets should include:
a. Chemigation Licensing
28
b. Kansas Chemigation Safety Law Information and Requirements
c. Chemigation Equipment Operator Exam Code CH01
d. Exam Answer Sheet
e. Application for Chemigation Equipment Operator Certification
f. Application for Chemigation User’s Permit (CUP)
g. Plan for using Required Anti-Pollution Devices
h. Plan for Handling Tail Water
i. Waterline Check Valve Requirements
j. Conversion Table Guide
k. Sample Plan – Anti-Pollution Devices
The Chemigation Equipment Operator Manual needs to be added to these packets to make them complete. The manual can be found at: http://www.agriculture.ks.gov/docs/default-source/default-document-library/chemigation-equipment-operator-manualf33dd2002e6262e1aa5bff0000620720.pdf?sfvrsn=0 All of the information contained in the packets except for the exam and answer sheet can be found at: http://www.k-state.edu/pesticides-ipm/private-applicator.html. I would recommend for you to make a master copy of the manual and exam as producers will be asking for copies of these. I would also make copies of the chemigation packet if you have one in your office because they are getting harder to get! I have extra exam answer sheets that I can send to you!
Commercial Applicators
A commercial applicator is referred to as an applicator, whether or not a private applicator with respect to
some uses, who uses or supervises the use of any pesticide, which is classified as restricted use for any
purpose or on any property for compensation. A commercial applicator can be actively engaged in the
advertisement of services, making recommendations for product use, the preparation of the application,
and the actual application of the pesticide. A commercial applicator must pass the general examination and a category/subcategory examination to become certified. The exam is closed book and must be taken at a testing location. The commercial applicator certification expires every three years. The manuals can be found online at: http://www.k-state.edu/pesticides-ipm/commercial-applicator.html. If your office does not keep copies in stock then you can either give the person the order form to order them or you can order it through the bookstore and have them pick it up. The exam schedule and recertification schedule are also posted on this web page.
Pesticide Business License Pesticide businesses who advertise, offer for sale, sell or perform any service for the control of a pest or apply pesticide on property of another for compensation are required to obtain a Kansas Pesticide Business License. (NOTE: Do not confuse the Commercial Applicator Certification with a Pesticide Business License. For someone to use their commercial certification to perform pesticide application work for compensation, the person need to a) work as an employee of a business that is properly licenses to perform application work or b) obtain their own Pesticide Business License). Pesticide Business Packet should contain:
Steps to Starting a Kansas Pesticide Business
Kansas Pesticide Business License
Pesticide Business License Application
Forms for Surety Bond, Escrow Agreement, Letter of Credit, and Liability Insurance
Certificate of Liability Insurance for Aerial Applicators
Pest Control Technician Registration
Report of Change Form
Credit Card Payment Form
These forms can be found at http://www.k-state.edu/pesticides-ipm/commercial-applicator.html or on the Kansas Department of Agriculture website. For questions concerning Pesticide Safety and Integrated Pest Management contact:
