Module 10

Regulatory Compliance
and Record-Keeping

In Ontario, pest management practices must align with regulatory standards to ensure safety, sustainability, and compliance with food safety protocols. This module explores the regulations governing pest management, the importance of accurate record-keeping, and how these factors contribute to certifications like Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), both of which play significant roles in food safety.

By the end of this module, learners will understand the legal and practical requirements for managing pests in a regulated environment and how record-keeping supports compliance, food safety, and farm management.
