What is direct supervision?

What is direct supervision?

• A. Licensed oversight
• B. Eye & ear contact
• C. Available if needed
• D. Secure location

Answer: (A)

Direct supervision means a licensed supervisor is physically present to provide immediate oversight and intervention as you perform pesticide tasks. The supervisor must hold a license and be responsible for ensuring you follow label directions, safety practices, and regulatory requirements in real time. This active, on-site guidance goes beyond merely being in eye and ear contact or being available if needed; it requires the supervisor to be ready to guide, correct, or stop work as necessary.
