Pre-Requisites
To qualify for entry into this Sensitive and Complex sites pest management workshop and to enable students to apply their training in an industry environment, students should be licenced pest managers or administration / sales persons that have had some exposure to carrying out pest management in a Sensitive or Complex type facility.
Prior to undertaking pest management activities in high risk or sensitive places an Activity Risk Management Plan (ARMP) must be prepared.
The undertaking of pest management activities in high risk or sensitive places can be undertaken by a licensed PMT who does not hold these competencies where the ARMP has been prepared by a PMT with these competencies and the licenced PMT is working under the general supervision of a PMT with these competencies.
This means the supervising technician must be contactable by phone while the technician is on site performing the pest management service.
