For pesticide safety concerns farmers, ranchers, agri-chemical
dealers, ag pilots, lawn care operators and exterminators should review
management practices associated with their pesticide storage area and
application equipment. These rules are simple, appropriate and justifiable
steps to take.
Keep the following points in mind when assessing your
pesticide storage security:
- Ensure pesticide storage is secure and locked as
appropriate.
- Be aware of who has keys and access to pesticide storage
areas.
- Post all storage areas (i.e., “Pesticides –
Keep out”).
- Post names, addresses and telephone numbers for contact
persons at the primary entrance to the storage area (list at least two people,
if possible).
- Regularly inspect storage facilities and keep an
inspection log.
- Commercial pesticide applicators should be aware of who
has access to pesticide storage areas during business hours.
- Keep inventory records of pesticide products current and
readily available.
- Secure pesticide application equipment to prevent
unauthorized access.
- Ensure pesticide label and Material Data Safety Sheets
are available on all stored pesticides.
- Keep a list of emergency telephone numbers readily
available, including fire, law enforcement and medical contacts.
Our initial thoughts of pest
management have taken a turn that we may not have considered originally. Today,
our responsibilities toward pesticide use and storage are more comprehensive
than ever before.
