Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products (England and Wales) Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products in Scotland Code of Practice for Suppliers of Pesticides to Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry Other codes are detailed on the PSD website
Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products This code is for all professional users of plant protection products in England and Wales in respect of Part III of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 (FEPA) and the regulations controlling pesticides, particularly plant protection products, under that part of the Act. This code gives you advice on how to use pesticides safely and it has a special position in law. If you follow its advice you will be doing enough to keep within the law. But you may be able to work in a different way from the code as long as that way is just as safe. If you are prosecuted for not following it, a court will find you guilty unless you can show that you have obeyed the law in some other way.

Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products in Scotland If you live in Scotland there is a similar Code of Practice which has been prepared jointly by the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department and the Health and Safety Commission.
