HANDLING OF CHEMICALS
!
Warning!
Chemicals can be harmful to individuals,
animals and the environment if
improperly used. In addition, some
chemicals that are caustic, corrosive or
poisonous should not be used in your
sprayer.
Carefully read the labels on chemical
containers prior to use. Chemicals are
classified into categories of toxicity.
Pesticides regulated by the EPA, for
instance, use signal words to indicate
the product's potential to make you sick.
"Caution" appears on pesticides found to
be least harmful to humans. "Warning"
indicates a product that is more
poisonous than those in the "Caution"
group. Pesticides with the signal word
"Danger" on the label are very
poisonous or irritating. They should be
used with extreme care. Finally,
pesticides labeled "Danger – Poison"
are for restricted use only and generally
must be used under the supervision of a
certified applicator. Similary, the EPA
rates herbicides with the signal words
"Caution", "Warning" and "Danger."
Each category will have unique handling
characteristics. Familiarize yourself with
the characteristics for the category you
are using.
!
Warning!
Mix only compatible pesticides and/or
herbicides. Wrong mixtures can produce
toxic fumes.

well ventilated area while wearing
appropriate protective clothing and
safety equipment. Do not store or
transport chemicals with food or
medicines, and never reuse a chemical
container for any other purpose.
Do not transfer spray materials to other
containers, especially food and/or drink
containers.
