English Session- Special Permit Training for Pesticide Handlers
April 7, 2016
8:00am - 12:00pm
Hyde Park, NY

This training is for English speakers.
We will again hold training programs so that DEC can issue "special permits" to these non-certified applicators that work under the supervision of a private certified applicator. This "special permit" will enable trained workers to apply restricted-use pesticides to tree fruit for the 2016 season without "direct, on-site supervision". These DEC "special permits" are being made available to assist individuals who have difficulty taking English written tests and are therefor not certified.
Supervisor Requirements: The supervising certified applicator is required to attend the beginning portion of the English Speaking session.
Registration Must be completed by Thursday, March 31, 2016. No walk-ins will be taken.
