Here we are at the start of the last presentation before the test
![Page 3: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Your job is to pass the test and get your license

Lots of safety is common sense, what's left is a challenge to learn

Lots of safety is common sense, what's left is a challenge to learn
The importance of safety should be an obvious concern for you when dealing with pesticides … but not knowing these specific regulations will likely ensure a low score on the test
![Page 6: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Lots of safety is common sense, what's left is a challenge to learn
it is a challenge to learn specific regulations: - who know how often to replace a respirator?- what things are required for notification of pesticides- Who has heard of Proposition 65?
Don't let questions like these catch you off guard. Be aware of the regulations

It's time to get down to business and study safety in this order:

![Page 12: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
You will have to get usedto reading labels
![Page 13: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It's important to follow the law
The EPA says it's a violation of the law to use a pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its label
![Page 14: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DPR says follow these safety rules
1. Read the label every time and follow its directions 1. Be especially careful with pesticides before they are mixed with water.
2. Wear the right kind of protection.
![Page 15: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If a pesticide can hurt you or harm you right away that's called acute
Examples of acute organophosphate is Parathion. It is absorbed through the skin, mucous membranes or harmful when swallowed.
It is also know as "Schwiegermuttergift" (mother-in-law poison in German).
![Page 16: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pesticides can make you sick by entering in your body 4 ways
![Page 17: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Labels contain dense information
![Page 18: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

FRONT LABEL CONTENTSAloft = general pesticide for lawns (golf)
RUP (Restricted Use Pesticide, not general use)Product name / brand name / trademark Ingredient statement is very important because two different products could have the same active ingredient.Signal word:(Danger will have skull and crossbones)
Danger LD50 = 0 - 50Warning LD50 = 50 - 500
Caution LD50 = 500 - 5000(association “Death Will Come”)
Keep Out of Reach of Children statementNet contents

![Page 21: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Back label includes:1 - Precautionary statement (which includes hazard to humans
and animals; keep out of reach)2 - User safety requirements (PPE)3 – Physical or chemical hazards 4 – Environmental hazards5 – directions for use6 – storage and disposal7 – warranty (if the producer wishes)
![Page 22: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Another Example Back label includes:
- first aid statement- directions for use- includes methods of use + recommended use- storage and disposal- warranty (if the producer wishes)
![Page 24: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Makers of the test care a lot about labels
![Page 25: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Makers of the test care a lot about labels
Why? Well it may be that they have your best interest at heartOr, perhaps is just an arbitrary thing to be a stickler about So imagine these rules are like all the details you had to study about for your drivers test.
Whatever the case, we have to know some very specific things
![Page 26: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Know the MEPs and what PPE you have to wear
![Page 27: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Know the MEPs and what PPE you have to wear
You must use a respirator, clean coveralls (or clothing that covers all your skin) and clean place to store you other clothes.
It's better is to use a self-contained unit called a closed system
![Page 28: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The law says the label must be present at all times
So what happens when the pesticide comes in small individual packages?
Well we have to be provided a supplementary
label that comes in the box. So a small sheet may be attached to each
individual package, or the label may refer you to a sheet that is included in the box.
![Page 29: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Test may include Safe Drinking Water & Toxic Enforcement Act of
86
(Proposition 65) The California government is required to make a list of chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
If a pesticide you work with is on this list than your supervisor must warn you!
Records also must be kept for any application
![Page 30: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Care for yourself and otherson the job should be obvious, right?
![Page 31: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We need to know emergency procedures like first aid
![Page 32: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What to do if someone collapses
Would this normally be from a chronic exposure? No, it's more likely a dangerous pesticide acute exposure.
First, get the person away from the pesticides (and be careful, there may be pesticides on the person).
Second, then get help right away, 911
![Page 33: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What to do if someone collapses
Also, try to stop the pesticides from getting in the person's body.
If the person is not breathing, and you know how to, give CPR.
![Page 34: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What to do if a person swallows a pesticide
Get help right away, 911 or poison control If the person is sleepy or unconscious and you
have no phone, take the person to the hospital right away. Do not give them anything to eat or drink. Do not try to get them to vomit.
Some pesticides can be doubly harmful.If the person is still conscious
follow the instructions in the first aid section of the label.
![Page 35: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What to do if you get sick
Stop work right away. You must stop working with the pesticide
Get help. Tell someone at work what happened
Ask to be taken to the doctor or the hospital
![Page 36: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PPE is one way that we canprevent exposure and accidents
When should we be especially careful with pesticides?
![Page 37: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PPE is one way that we canprevent exposure and accidents
When mixing with water.Moving pesticides and hand pouring
pesticides are the two most dangerous parts of the job
![Page 38: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PPE is one way that we canprevent exposure and accidents

![Page 39: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Here are general things to remember when thinking about PPEYour company must provide clean clothing
any time you work with a pesticide labeled dangerous or warning.
Your company must also provide a place to store clothes and cleanup after work when working with a pesticide labeled dangerousor warning.
If the label says you have to work with a chemical suit then you cannot work in 80 during the day 85 at night.
![Page 40: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Wear a respirator when the label says “avoid breathing vapor/mist”
![Page 41: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Here's a little more about respirators:You must get training on how to use a
respirator and fit it properly.A proper one must say that it is approved by
the NIASH.You must use a special respirator if you have
a beard or lots of facial hair. If you smell or taste anything funny it's not
working. Also if it's hard to breath. Inspect for cracks or tears.
Filter must be replaced when label says, when you notice something funny, or at the end of each workday (which ever comes first)
![Page 42: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Closed systems and Water-soluble packs are forms of extra protection
![Page 43: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Lawmakers are trying to protect you
![Page 44: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Proper training is your right
Your supervisor must know and help you to learn about the pesticides you use, how to safely use them, and protect yourself
Each year you must be told the ways a pesticide can hurt you and how to safely use one with extra training about respirators
All the information must be written down
![Page 45: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Proper access to emergency care is also your right
Your employer must make emergency plans before you start working with a pesticide
You should see signs like “Emergency medical care is available at ...” every where.
You have the right to know when and where pesticides have been used where you work, even the EPA registration number.
You also have the right to know where records are kept.
![Page 46: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
You may be asked about the Worker Protection Standard (WPS)
It is a program set up by the EPA to protect agricultural workers that deal with pesticides
![Page 47: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Let's not forget the care of others
![Page 48: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We have to handle and store pesticides correctly
![Page 49: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Here are examples of suitable storage options
Optimal would be a fenced in area that is locked
Another could be a storage area that's lockedA truck or trailer with compartments
that can be locked
![Page 50: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Let's go over the procedure for proper mixing again
What is the first step? Always read the label
Next, make sure you have the proper PPE (which will certainly include glasses&gloves) Then … let's say it's a liquid formation
Start with 70% waterThen add WP → DF / WDG → EC
Remember this is one of the most dangerous parts of the job
![Page 51: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Common Pesticide Formulations
![Page 52: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Here are the steps to proper disposal (triple rinse)
Wear all the required PPE (glasses / gloves min)
Fill container to ¼ water, seal and shakeTake that mix and add it to the mix tank
to be applied for the job.Repeat procedure 2x morePuncture the container so it's not used againProperly dispose of the container
![Page 53: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Accidents do happen(including fires and explosions)
![Page 55: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Accidents do happen
Patch the leaky containerClean with absorbent material (kitty litter)Place it all in a sealable container
(also with a proper label)The label / MSDS sheet will have
proper disposal info
![Page 56: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Accidents do happen(including fires and explosions)
For fires and explosions:Inspect for potential hazards, ignition points
(like what? electrical motors, wall switches, appliances, or pilot lights)
Call 911 immediately and use extreme caution with pesticide fires. Be sure to tell them.
(Don't stand downwind)
![Page 57: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Careful of others around you and what surface you are applying to
Follow the directions on the label.Porous surfaces like concrete
make the pesticide useless.Carpets / wall paper may stain.Dusts may leave a residue.Often says to test in a
small inconspicuous space
![Page 58: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Careful of others around you and what surface you are applying to
Odors are strongest right after application. Apply when building is not occupied
(especially child/pets).
Prevent drift - Don't apply on windy days. Prevent run off - Avoid sidewalks.
![Page 59: Get Your Applicator's License 3: Safety Third?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/55825273d8b42a09258b46ea/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
What to include on the pesticide notification
- The pest to be controlled - Pesticides and active ingredients
And what to expect from them (odor)- Areas treated
State law requires some specific language:- CAUTION- PESTICIDES ARE TOXIC CHEMICALS...- If within 24 hours following application you experience symptoms...- For further information, contact any of the following...
