What are the requirements of the Employee Registration Program?

The Employee Registration Program is designed to ensure that pest control workers have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their duties safely and effectively. The requirements of taking and passing a written exam demonstrate that the employees must understand pest control principles, safety regulations, and relevant laws. The 10 hours of classroom training provides critical theoretical knowledge, covering topics such as pest identification, control methods, and safety practices, which are essential for any applicant looking to work in the pest control industry. Additionally, the 70 hours of supervised on-the-job training allow employees to gain practical, hands-on experience under the supervision of experienced professionals. This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals are not only knowledgeable but also competent in applying that knowledge in real-world situations, thereby enhancing safety and efficacy in pest control operations.

This rigorous structure emphasizes the importance of proper training and testing in ensuring that pest control employees are well-prepared for their responsibilities.
