New benefit: Online legislation register for Affiliates

At the request of our Servicing Committee, the voice of the servicing membership, BPCA has compiled a register of UK legislation associated with delivering pest control services.

BPCA-Affiliate-logo-400-126

Indexed by animal and group, the register allows affiliates and members the option to dip into the website on their mobile device (or desktop) and quickly double check the relevant legislation before starting treatment or related activity.

You can view it here (login required):

Legislation register

Technical Manager, Dee Ward Thompson said:

“I must admit, I do get some enquiries on legislative issues from members, but it’s so important to protect yourself.

"Of course, if you want to have this, and more information on hand at all times I would strongly advise picking up a British Pest Management Manual to keep in the van.”

The legislation register is hosted in the technical advice section of the member area, alongside BPCA Documents and Codes, Safety data sheets and other useful documents such as a template waste removal letter.

In addition to the register, the page also includes links to websites where professionals can source advice and guidance autonomously.

Servicing Committee member, Jenny Humphrey of DRE Pest Control in Cambridgeshire said:

“There have been occasions when customers have asked me questions regarding legislation.

"The register will allow me quick access to these questions and to give the finer points regarding any current legislation.”

The BPCA Servicing Committee is always looking for ideas which can help members. If you have a particular challenge or suggestion that you would like the Committee to look into, please email membership@bpca.org.uk
