Pesticide Risk Management and Mitigation Module 2
According to the World Health Organization, the classification of pesticides by hazard must be based on their formulation for use and not based on the intrinsic danger of their active ingredient.
There are numerous international and national instruments that guarantee the rational management and the registration and legal use of pesticides, such as the FAO International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, the WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard and the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM).
These instruments allow the use of pesticides to be one of the most monitored and controlled activities. It also allows products used in food production to confer the benefits of crop protection with the highest health and environmental safety conditions.
The pesticide industry is one of the most regulated in the world. In addition to the international principles and guidelines, each country has specific laws and regulations on the registration and use of pesticides..
