The Colorado Pesticide Applicators\u2019 Act<\/strong><\/a> is the state law regulating the use and application of pesticides. Administered by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA)<\/strong><\/a>, the Act establishes licensing and certification requirements for commercial and private pesticide applicators. It sets forth qualifications, training, and continuing education standards to ensure the safe and effective use of pesticides.<\/p>\n Additionally, the Act includes provisions for record-keeping, storage, disposal, and enforcement mechanisms<\/strong> to promote compliance and protect public health, agricultural resources, and the environment. By enforcing these regulations, Colorado seeks to balance effective pest management with safety and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/ag.colorado.gov\/sites\/ag\/files\/documents\/8%20CCR%201203-2%20Website.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Rules and Regulations” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#1E4D2B” button_border_width=”4px” button_border_color=”#1E4D2B” custom_margin=”||5%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#F1F1F1″ button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_border_color__hover=”#F1F1F1″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/agsci.colostate.edu\/agbio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/127\/2024\/02\/pexels-mark-stebnicki-2889442-e1747941211806-300×194.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”WPS” module_id=”wps” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#1E4D2B” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_image=”https:\/\/agsci.colostate.edu\/agbio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/127\/2024\/05\/DSC_4084.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”25px||25px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \t\t [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” background_layout=”dark” width=”75%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”3%||||false|false” custom_padding=”||3%||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” link_font=”||||on||||” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The Worker Protection Standard (WPS)<\/strong> is a federal regulation issued by the\u00a0U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a> to protect agricultural workers and pesticide handlers from occupational pesticide exposure.
