Posting Spray Application Information in a Central Location - Worker Protection Safety
Spray application information must be posted in a central location after the spraying is done.
True or False?
Answer: FALSE
The WPS (Worker Protection Standards) requires that the information be posted before the spraying begins. This is to inform employees as to what areas will be sprayed and must be avoided.
The information posted must include:
- Location and description of the area to be treated.
- The product name, EPA registration number and active ingredient(s) of the pesticide
- The time and date the pesticide is scheduled to be applied
- The restricted entry interval (REI) for the pesticide.
This information must be available for 30 days AFTER the REI interval (Re Entry Interval) for the pesticide has expired.
Other information the central location must have:
- The name, telephone number and address of the nearest medical facility
- The WPS Pesticide Safety Poster in good, readable condition.
