| Abstract/Contents: | Presents legislative and regulator concerns for the lawn care operator (LCO) both today and in the future. Issues will have a major impact on the way in which pesticides are used, or not used, in the future. Safety, health, certification and training issues will all play an increasing role and require increased attention from the LCO. Reviews the need for LCO's to begin to help formulate reasonable pesticide public policy. This will involve cooperation with other pesticide applicator groups, decision makers, and environmental activists. LCO's will need to further incorporate integrated pest management (IPM) programs and other techniques into their operations to reduce pesticide use and use pesticides more safely. Includes: Perception of Pesticides/Media Attention; Right-to-Know; Public Health and Safety; Employee Health and Safety; Environmental Concerns; Legal Issues; and Industry/Applicator Response. |
