FIFRA. If you work with pesticides, that's an acronym you'll need to remember. It stands for the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, and it regulates the registration, labeling and packaging of pesticides, as well as worker protection and applicator certification. Proper use and storage of pesticides are critical both for human health on the job and for protecting the environment. Although FIFRA is not addressed in detail in the virtual tour, the content link below contains information on best management practices related to pesticide use and management. Or, for the specific regulations associated with pesticides, refer to the following links:
40 CFR 152
40 CFR 156
