Who is authorized to sign termite-related documents in educational institutions?

The authorization to sign termite-related documents in educational institutions typically falls to the Certified Applicator. This is because the Certified Applicator possesses the required training and certification to handle pest control issues safely and effectively, particularly those involving termites. Their formal education and knowledge about pest management practices ensure that they can make informed decisions regarding treatment plans, inspections, and compliance with regulatory standards.

In contrast, while a Pest Control Technician may be involved in carrying out treatments, they generally do not have the authority to sign off on official documents unless they are also certified. A School Administrator or the Principal may oversee operations and administrative aspects within the institution but typically do not hold qualifications specific to pest control management that would grant them the authority to sign these technical documents. Therefore, the responsibility lies with the Certified Applicator to ensure that any pest control activities are documented appropriately within educational settings.
