What is the purpose of the Pesticide Safety Information Series (PSIS)?

The Pesticide Safety Information Series (PSIS) serves a crucial role in disseminating essential health and safety information about pesticides to ensure that users handle these substances responsibly and safely. The series is designed to enhance the understanding of the potential hazards associated with pesticide use, including exposure risks to human health and guidance on protective measures. By providing clear and accessible information, the PSIS helps individuals make informed decisions and adopt practices that minimize health risks when using pesticides, thereby promoting safer applications. This focus on health and safety makes the purpose of the PSIS pivotal in pesticide regulation and effective management practices, ensuring that safety is prioritized in agricultural and pest control settings.
