Regulation for keeping records of pesticide use

The Pesticides Regulation makes it compulsory for all people who use pesticides for commercial or occupational purposes to make a record of their pesticide use. This includes farmers, market gardeners, parkland and green keepers, nursery operators, pest control operators, ground rig operators, landlords, landscape gardeners and local councils and government agencies, and other people who use pesticides as part of their job.

Keeping records of pesticide applications can help reduce health, trade and environmental impacts by providing vital information if problems occur. Keeping records helps to track the effectiveness of the pesticides used and, in the event of incident occurring, assist in demonstrating that pesticides were used responsibly.
