NOTE

The Texas Right to Know Law Chapter 125 including TDA enforces this law which applies to larger farming operations and does not include it on the basic Laws and Regs Exam

Part 170 - Federal Worker protection Standard Read this entire section and underline each time you see Agricultural Employer to see his responsibilities

123 Does the Worker Protection Standard govern both employers of farm workers and noncommercial or commercial applicators who employ handlers on agricultural establishments (scope)(l707)

The is the primary person responsible for knowing or having access to the trade and common chemical name of the pesticide the product label and ()ther safety requirements and for promptly making such information available to workers persons alleging pesticide exposure and to treating medical personnel upon request ( Did you do as instructed under Part 170 )

124 Review the definitions of Owner Handler employer Worker and Handler

125 The period between an application of a pesticide and the time when people may enter the field without wearing personal protective equipment andor clothing required by the label is c~lled the the

126 If a pesticide of any kind has a restricted entry interval of 48 hours printed on the label Wli11 this REI change due to climate without this being on the label

127 Who is the person ultimately responsible for compliance with requirements governing worker reentry into treated fields

128 Can an agricultural employer or supervisor direct an agricultural worker to perform pesticide-handling tasks

129 Review the list ofexceptions to the Worker Protection Standard 1170103

130 Can a employer order an employee (who has been trained as a worker under the WPS) to engage in an activity that may involve substantial contact with a pesticide (see 17011 OaIb)

131 The Worker Protection Standard requires that before a commercial applicator applies pesticides to an agricultural employers establishment the applicator andor the agricultural employer must communicate the following to each other so that employees do not enter restricted areas A commercial applicator must inform the grower about I) the location and description of the treated area 2) time and date of application 3) product name EPA registration number and active ingredient(s) 4) restricted entry interval 5) any posting and oral notification requirements and 6) any other safety information from the label Also the agricultural employer (grower) must inform the commercial applicator about 1) the specific location and description of treated areas in hislher establishment and 2) restrictions about entering those areas ifthe commercial applicator will have his employees entering those areas or walking within 14 mile of them during the REJ or application (170124) (170224)

132 WHO is responsible for assuring that direct spray or drift does not contact persons not wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (17021 Oa - two individuals)

133 Under the Worker Protection Standard are commercial applicators required to present safety training to noncertified pesticide handlers who can read labels (170230)

134 Are the employers of handlers covered by the Worker Protection Standard required both tc) provide personal protective equipment specified on the pesticide label or in the Standards and to assure that the equipment is used (170240)

CALIBRA TION PRACTICE PROBLEMS

These problems are from the study manual but the format is similar to the Exam problems

1-1 Calculate the swath width in feet (FT) if the spray equipment has 13 nozzles on 20 inch (IN) spacings (page 32)

1-2 What will the application rate be in gallons per acre (GPA) if 65 gallons are used to treat an area 660 feet long and 217 feet wide (page 32-33)

1-3 If an applicators spray equipment travels 300 feet in 51 seconds what is the speed in miles per hour (MPH) (page 33-34)

1-4 How many gallons per acre (GPA) (broadcast rate) is applied by a spray rig that travels at 4 miles per hour (MPH) delivers 35 ounces per minute and has a nozzle spacing of20 inches (IN) (page 34)

1-5 How many gallons per acre (GPA) (broadcast rate) is applied while banding by a spray rig that travels at 4 miles per hour (MPH) delivers 31 ounces per minute and is treating a bandwidth of 12 inches (IN) (page 34) (NOTE Although this is the amount that would be broadcast on 1 acre of treated

area a greater number of acres of crop would be treated because of the alternating bands and skips The number of

acres of crop depends on the row spacing and the band with For example if the row width is 36 inches and the band

treated is 12 inches there would be 3 acres of crop for every 1 acre of surface actually treated)

III How to Read Pesticide Labels (video Labels and Labeling Chapter 2 pgs 5p lO)

1 Look for the name on the front of the label

2 ingredients are the ones that kill or control the pests

3 words tell you how poisonous the pesticide is

CAUTION least poisonous pesticides - low toxicity

WARNING more poisonous or irritating - moderately toxic

very poisonous or irritating MAY also have skull and crossbones shyvery toxic

4 When handling pesticides with the DANGER signal word someone should check on you every hours ( video and LampR WPS - 40 CPR sect17021 0)

5 The statements section tells you which parts ofyour body need special protection and what kind ofpersonal protective equipment to wear

6 The hazards section tells you ifyou must take extra care to protect bees and wildlife or to keep the pesticide out ofgroundwater and surface water

7 A is classified as restricted use by EPA because it may without additional regulatory restrictions cause unreasonable adverse effects to the environment or to human health (including injury to the applicator) Labels say for sale to and for use by certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision and only for uses covered by the Licensed Applicators license

8 The for use section lists infonnation on mixing loading and application

9 All agricultural pesticides have a restricted interval (REI) The REI is the time immediately after a pesticide application when entry into the treated area is limited (WPSshy40 CFR Subpart A sect1703)

10 The interval is the number ofdays between when the pesticide is applied and when the crop is harvested

4

11 Using a little MORE pesticide than the label recommends is legal since it is a use inconsistent with label directions (LampR sect771 - Use Inconsistent with Label Directions)

12 The label allows drift off of the intended spray target (LampR sect 771 shyUse Inconsistent with Label Directions)

2 Gloves that are made ofand leather should NOT be worn when handling pesticides

C Follow these easy rules for wearing PPE correctly

1 Keep pant legs the top ofboots

2 Wear chemical-resistant that reach at least half-way to the elbow

3 Ifapplying pesticides toward the ground wear sleeves over the of gloves

4 Ifworking above your shoulders wear sleeves your gloves Make sure you choose gloves with cuffs

7

5 Wear over your regular work clothes to give your body good protection against most pesticides

6 Use a chemical-resistant to keep splashes and spills from soaking your coveralls while you are mixing and loading pesticides or cleaning equipment

D Respirators (best protection against gases and vapors)

1 The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( ) is the federal agency that evaluates and approves In addition since 1998 the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) requires that before employees can use respiratory protection equipment they must be trained and have a medical evaluation Before you put on a respirator double check to make sure that the number on the respirator matches the number listed on the product label

2 Styles ofrespirators include

bull filtering respirators

bull Chemical respirators

bull respirators

bull Air - or self-contained breathing apparatus (when using highly toxic pesticides or during fumigation)

3 Every time you put your respirator on make sure that you do a check

USDA Pesticide Use Record Keeping Requirements Rodney L Holloway and David L Jones

Effective May 10 1993 certified applicators including private applicators are required by federal rule to keep records on their restricted use pesticide applications There is no designated form Data that must be recorded for each restricted use pesticide application includes

1 Brand or product name 2 EPA registration number of brand of product used 3 Total amount of restricted use pesticide applied 4 Location of treatment 5 Size of area treated 6 Crop 7 Month day and year of application 8 Name and certification number of applicator

Spot applications also must be recorded These are defined as those restricted use pesticide applications totaling less than 1 1110 of an acre in a 24-hour period

Commercial applicators are required to provide a copy of restricted pesticide applicatiops to customers within 14 days of each treatment However they may hold the records for their clients as long as the client signs a statement recognizing the commercial applicator as the record holder The records must be made available upon request in a timely manner to clients

The individual who contracts commercial applicator services and who receives the bill should receive the copy of the pesticide use record If the tenant and landowners share expenses and both are billed by the commercial applicator then both individuals should receive a copy of the record

Pesticide use records need not be filed with a governmental entity to comply with federal law Health care providers can request use information in emergency situations Applicators will be surveyed at a later date by officials responsible for developing a national pesticide use report
