DPR Worker Health and Safety Branch developed Pesticide Safety Information Series (PSIS) leaflets primarily as a training aid for employees. California regulations require these documents to be part of pesticide handler and field worker training. The "A" series documents are for use in production agriculture, including fruit, vegetables, grains, nut and grape crops, trees grown for lumber, commercially-grown nursery stock, Christmas trees, and turf grown for sod. This excludes livestock, poultry and fish. The "N" series documents are for use in poultry and fish- producing business, structural pest control, landscape and maintenance firms, rights-of-way maintenance organizations, or similar businesses. The documents are in PDF format available in English, Spanish and Punjabi. Adobe Reader is required to view PDF documents.
