Definition: Commercial certified operator?

Definition: Commercial certified operator?

• A. Individual who engages in the business of applying pesticides or operating a device for hire
• B. Individual who stores pesticides
• C. Individual who regulates pesticide sales
• D. Individual who only stores pesticides

Answer: (A)

At heart, a commercial certified operator is someone who applies pesticides for clients or operates pesticide application equipment as part of a business for pay. This definition focuses on actively performing or supervising pesticide applications as a service you provide to customers. The option describing someone who stores pesticides or the option describing regulatory roles doesn’t involve applying pesticides as a paid service, so they don’t fit the role of a commercial operator. If you’re hired to spray lawns or crops for customers, that person is doing the work a commercial operator is defined by.
