Pesticide Safety Education Program provides training for people in Alaska who apply
restricted use pesticides, for people who apply any pesticides on property other than
their own or their employers, for people who apply pesticides on public school (K-12)
grounds and facilities. All of these situations require the applicator to be a
certified pesticide applicator with the Alaska DEC Pesticide Branch.

The secondary purpose of PSEP is to provide consumers and the public with
information on pesticide safety and pesticide hazards. The program encourages
communication between pesticide safety educators, pesticide regulators, pesticide
applicators and the public. PSEP is a workforce training program and an
environmental conservation program. |
The Pesticide Safety Training Program
(PSEP) is a partnership between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and
Extension Service (CSREES) , the State of Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation – Pesticide Branch (ADEC) , and the University
of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service (UAF – CES)
