Written in English and Spanish and completely illustrated, this manual provides basic safety information for pesticide workers. Mixers, loaders, and applicators work with pesticides at their greatest strength and have the highest risk of poisoning. Understanding the pesticide label is the first step to pesticide safety. The words "danger,""warning," or "caution" on the label indicate how poisonous a pesticide is and what type of protective clothing or equipment to use. "Restricted use" pesticides are too dangerous to use without special training. The label also includes directions for use, a precautionary statement, first aid treatment, and the reentry period during which a treated area is unsafe. The manual includes the paths of pesticide poisoning, the proper use of protective clothing and equipment, hygiene rules for pesticide handlers, safe and unsafe pesticide practices, signs and symptoms of pesticide poisoning, and the locations of Environmental Protection Agency offices. First aid instructions cover accidents involving exposure to pesticide spill, persons overcome by pesticide fumes, ingestion of pesticide, and pesticide in the eyes. (SV)
