Follow these basic pesticide safety procedures:Make sure that you are familiar with current federal and state pesticide laws and regulations and that you have a license, if required.Avoid drift of spray or dust that may endanger other crops or animals. Cover feed pans, troughs, and watering tanks in livestock areas; protect beehives.To protect yourself and others, follow all safety precautions on the label. Know and observe the general rules for safe pesticide use, and record the date, time, location, and amount of each pesticide used.Wear protective clothing and use protective equipment according to instructions on the pesticide label.Never eat, drink, or smoke while applying pesticides.Avoid spilling spray materials on skin or clothing. If such an accident occurs, wash immediately with soap and water.Bathe after applying pesticides and change into freshly laundered clothing. Wash clothing after applying pesticides, keeping in mind that, until laundered, such clothing must be handled according to the same precautions as the pesticide itself. Wash pesticide-contaminated clothing apart from other laundry, and take care in disposing of the wash water.Store pesticides in their original containers in a locked, properly marked cabinet or storeroom, away from food or feed.Do not store herbicides with other pesticides; avoid the danger of cross-contamination.Be sure to triple-rinse all empty containers before recycling (in a special recycling program only through the Pa. Dept. of Agriculture; this is different from typical household curbside recycling programs) or disposing of them in an approved landfill.If you suspect poisoning, contact your nearest Poison Control Center, hospital emergency room, or physician. Take the pesticide label and, if possible, the MSDS sheet with you and give it to the attending physician.Chemicals wash
