Restricted Use Pesticides (RUP) Safety Training Materials:
 

What is a RUP? A pesticide, or some of its uses, is classified as restricted if it could cause harm to humans (pesticide handlers or other persons) or to the environment unless it is applied by certified applicators who have the knowledge to use these pesticides safely. Restricted Use Pesticides are available for purchase and use only by certified pesticide applicators or persons under their direct supervision.

The Nevada Cooperative Extension Service – Pesticide Safety Education Program uses two sources for training materials. The Nevada Cooperative Extension Service has made available the Nevada Pesticide Applicator Certification Workbook in electronic format (The following files require Adobe Acrobat Reader):
