What guidelines does the Health and Safety Code establish regarding pest control?

The Health and Safety Code provides comprehensive guidelines that focus on the regulation and practices of pest control operators while ensuring public health safety measures are in place. This includes outlining the responsibilities of pest control operators in managing pest populations effectively and safely, as well as the standards they must adhere to in order to minimize risks to human health and the environment.

By establishing these guidelines, the code ensures that pest control practices are not only effective in eliminating pests but also consistent with public health policies. This approach promotes the safe use of pest control chemicals, training for operators, and necessary precautions to protect the community. It reflects an understanding of the need to balance pest management with public safety considerations, emphasizing the importance of responsible practices rather than outright bans or specific method mandates.
