Compliance Assistance
A team of statewide inspectors is available to conduct routine inspections and enforcement checks, provide compliance assistance and investigate agricultural chemical use complaints. Our division is responsible for addressing health and environmental risks from pesticide use, injury or damage. We are here to assist you with compliance.
Inspectors help educate pesticide applicators, dealers, farmers and ag workers about how to perform work safely. You can request a Compliance Assistance Visit with an MDA inspector in your region.
