NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Dept. of Agricultural Resources, pesticide bureau, requires that all licensed applicators undergo 12hrs of training in a three year period to maintain their license. That equates to 4hrs per year.
EHS service specialists undergo 15-20hrs of training per year! That’s 375% to 500% more than the required amount mandated by the Commonwealth!
