Worker Safety

Provide regular worker safety classes that review the farm's Standard Operating Procedures.

Use appropriate protective equipment and clothing, according to label instructions.

Do not apply pesticides during very hot weather or in windy conditions.

Wash skin and clothing if spills occur and after applying chemicals.

Do not smoke while working with chemicals.

Post chemical application information in a central location so that employees know when and where it is safe to work with a crop after a chemical application.
