Empowering safe practices with comprehensive training
Agsafe’s training and education programs are designed to equip businesses in the agricultural chemical supply chain with the knowledge and skills required to safely manage agricultural and veterinary (AgVet) chemicals. Developed in alignment with federal and state regulations, our courses ensure participants receive up-to-date, relevant information to maintain compliance, protect employees and customers, and safeguard the environment.
Agsafe’s structured training framework supports professionals at every stage, whether they are beginning their certification journey or maintaining it through ongoing learning. This framework is simple and effective, using a points-based system to help participants track their progress and meet industry requirements without disruption.
How Agsafe certification works
Agsafe certification is a three-year cycle designed to ensure ongoing excellence in the safe storage, handling, and management of agricultural chemicals. Participants earn points through a combination of foundational courses and supplementary training, keeping their knowledge current with best practices and legislative requirements.
