|
|
|
Protecting ourselves from pesiticide Esposure.
where is the biggest exposures from? |
applying highly toxic materials, mixing, loading concentrates. Applications are less hazardous, it increases with drift. Also with cleaing up spills, making equipment repairs, entering treated areas early.
|
|
|
Protective clothing.
wearing protective clothes protects against exposure. why don't people do that? |
clothes are hot, clumsy, uncomfortble.
the job determines the clothes. highly toxic need full coverage! a respirator! even self contained O2 |
|
|
general instructions are:
avoid skin contact avoid breathing dust or fumes keep out of eyes what is missing here? |
these statements don't mention clothes or equipment. but do imply protection is needed. Just because it doesn't say it doesnt rule out wearing protective clothes.
|
|

so shit don't run down sleeve and go inside the glove, it flows over the glove.
|
|
|
What if your working with gloves overhead?
|
then put gloves on the outside instead and turn cuff up to try and catch drippy stuff from getting on you. wash gloves with soap and water before removing them.
|

|
|
how do you clean googles that have been exposed to stuff?
|
2 minutes water mixture w/ tablespoons of chlorine per gallon bleach. wipe and dry.
|
|
|
Respirators
what is the fastest route of entry for a poison? |
lungs SO
blood capallaries transport poison all over and fast too. so stop with w/ a respirator. |
|
|
3 classes of respirators:
air purifying supplied air ...? |
self contained
most will use the air purifying type |
|
|
the air purifying mask is like a Dust Mist Respirator.
looks like something you'd wear for surgery or an air raid. how do you know when to rplace the dust mask? |
breathing becomes difficult
filter is damaged required to by label any concerns about the mask |
|
|
T or F
all respirators must be: MSHA NIOSH approved |
True
|
|
|
Chemical Cartridge Respirators
provide protection against ... |
certain gases and vapors w/ concentrations greater than 0.1 % volume. where when mixing pesticides outdoors. available as half masts, or full face
|
|
|
Many cartridge respirators have a combo chem and mech filter. what do they protect against?
|
gases and particulate matter
|
|
|
when should you replace the filters and or cartlidge?
|
you smell ordors
required to by label any concerns about it anyway |
|
|
when do we NOT use a chemical cartridge mask?
|
for protection against extrememly toxic gases.
|
|
|
The previous masks, dust/mist respirators and canister type respirators are example of?
|
air purifying respirators.
they pass air thru a filter or have a vapor removing material. It uses negative pressure required the lungs to draw the air. Again negative pressure is used with dust/mist and canister masks. |
|
|
there is also the positive pressure powered air purifying respirator. PAPR
what does this do? |
this mask assist in pressure to make it work. dont confuse with SCDA or supplied air respirators.
|
|
|
SCBA is self contained breathing apparatus. the highest level protection. what does this mask provide?
|
SCBA provides the actual air you breathe. self contained. very few situations that call for this. uses a regulator so it has to be checked freq.
|
|
|
So PAPR is positive pressure mask, which again does what?
|
assist in the positive air flow in the mask somehow.
|
|
|
respirators use and care
make sure the respirator matches? |
the pesticide your going to use. Respirators labeled only for protection against certain particulates shouldn't be used for gases/vapors. remember, cartidges and filters do not supply o2.
|
|
|
what can mess up a mask's use?
|
a beard or sideburns prevent a good seal. there are 2 fit tests you can do test w/ most chemical cartidge respirators.
|
|
|
test like a divers mask. place hand over the mask and exhale, it should create a pressure on your face. if not, its leaking. what is the second test?
|
cover the inhalation valve w/ hand and inhale. this should make the face piece bend in. If air gets in, readjust the headbands.
|
|
|
get fresh air fast if any danger signals come up using the respirtator.
like what? |
smell something
breathing becomes difficult air becomes warm nausious or dizzy |
|
|
after each respirator use, take it apart and change filters. wash it and also the ...
|
googles. you would also use google with the mask, right? clean and dry this stuff in a tighly sealed plasitic bag, all these parts to the mask.
|
|
|
don't store respirator with ...
|
pesticides or other chemicals!
|
|
|
washing pesticide contaminated clothes
wash at the end of the day. store seperatley from family laundry. wear gloves when? |
when handling thes dirty clothes. if clothes are saturated, throw away.
|
|
|
hot water will remove pesticides faster than cold water. so what?
|
so use hot water to clean pesticides from your clothes. Use phosphate carbonate or heavy duty liquids laundry detergents.
|
|
|
what do you never use to clean your clothes?
|
bleach or ammonia never use b/c they react to clhorine gas on the clothes and can be fatal. wash clothes at full water level. also after washing, rinse the machine with an empty load. using hot water and same detergent. line drying is recommended. you don't want this stuff in your dryer and pesticides break down in the sunlight
|
|
|
wash hands after each laundering. and what?
|
keep protective clothes away from pesticide storage areas.
|
|
|
whats the most hazardous activity involved with pesticides? the worst job of all?
|
mixing and / or loading pesticides.
|
|
|
the procedures to follow for mixing/loading are:
review label b/f opening container wear protective clothing choose the mix/loading area carefully do not tear paper containers to open them, use a knife measure accurately, follow label instructions, only make what your going to use immediately make sure equipment is working right b/f even starting this stuff if 2 or more pesiticdes are going to be .... |
mix together, do so in the proper order:
wettable powders flowables water solubles (powders/solutions) emulsifiable concentrates |
|
|
Never leave a spray unit unattended while ...
|
it is being filled.
|
|
|
there's more to mixing and loading things to do:
when adding extra water to spray mix, what? |
make sure water pipe or hose is at least 2 pipe diameters above the level of the container. So DON'T stick the fill hose INSIDE container! This also prevents back siphoning
|
|
|
Does the water's pH have anything to do w/ a pesticides's effectivness?
|
yes. recommended water pH for mixing pesticides should be b/t 5 and 7. So you can add buffers and acidifying agents to water to adjust pH
|
|
|
whats a great way to reduce exposure to pesticide concentrate handling?
|
a closed system is the best.
it has interconnected gear so you can remove concentrate from origional container and transfer it, clean it, rinse it all without contacting the pesticide |
|
|
Applying the Pesticide
never let people who can't read OR dont' care do what? |
apply the pesticide. so read the label b/f appying it.
|
|
|
Always wear clean clothes and use the proper protective equipment. If application is done indoors, do what?
|
you always wear protective breathing gear if the spray is done indoors. If applicator rides inside a cab without filters, he's got to wear a mask too.
|
|
|
Never eat, smoke, drink while ...
|
applying pesticides. don't even carry food or smoking stuff w/ you.
|
|
|
having a first aid kit and eye wash around is a good idea,
Applicators should work in ______ pairs when applying highly toxic pesticides |
applicators should work in pairs when putting out highly toxic pesticides
|
|
|
what should be done around the place b/f you put out pesiticides?
|
remove or cover all livestock, farm equipment, etc. anyone not involved w/ job should leave, post placards may be required to keep people out of area too.
|
|
|
DURING APPLICATION
we need to protect: ourselves the enviroment while putting out pesticides. what is particually a safety issue during application? |
a spary nozzle at over 30 psi. this makes droplets that stay airborne to drft back on you or away from target!
when spraying in light breeze, do it so wind carries it away from you and susceptible plants, etc |
|
|
If you can smell the spray while wearing a respirator, the what?
|
the respirator isn't working right.
|
|
|
do you remove your protective gear to fix a plugged nozzle?

no dont remove your protective gear, clean with toothbrush or wire. DO NOT BLOW ON clogged stuff!
|
|
|
what 2 things you should really focus on before spraying?
|
accurately mix pesiticdes
correctly calibrate spray gear |
|
|
whats the major concern w/ the enviro during pesiticide applications?
|
drift is a major concern
its a major way applications go off target, drift. so we need to know what makes it drift. |
|
|
whats the first step to avoid a pesticide application issue with disposal of the stuff?
|
making just enough of it in the first place! This also helps in over applicating trying to empty tanks on targets that already have it on it anyway.
|
|
|
After applicating, clean equipment. Follow cleaning insructions. never leave stuff unsuperivised. clean away from water supplies. wear protective clothing. what happens if you don't clean your equipment correctly?
|
pesticide gets moved over into the herbicide spraying so your spraying both stuff. BE especially AWARE of using a tank that had hervicide in it to then use it for pesiticide! If stuff insn't cleaned well, you will kill alot of plants!
|
|
|
pesticides have reentry intervals. lenth of time following app when someone can go there. must be observed unless you are properly ...
|
protected w/ clothers respirators, etc.
this protects from pesticide residues! if time isn't listed on label, use min interval or until its at least dried or dust has settled. |
|
|
what is cleaned after you clean the application gear?
|
the last to clean is protective gear.
don't continue to wear these clothes. make sure to not only clean protective clothing but also hands, face, soap / water, b/f eating etc. |
|
|
Storage
proper storage prolongs shelf life of this stuff. some conditions are essential. Consult ISDA for specific info for storage for pro applicators and pesiticide dealers. ISDA lists min standards for storing pesticides. Idaho defines 4 categories: what are they? |
Cat 1
highly toxic w/ signal word Danger or Danger/Poison Cat 2 moderately toxic, signal word is Warning Cat 3 Slightly nontoxic, signal word is Caution |
|
|
Storage Area
store away from groundwater away from kids fence it if its outside at least 6 feet high what else w/ outdoor storage? |
post signs highly visible on walls, etc. Put up no smoking signs,

keep plenty of soap and water around storage area. a fire extinquisher approved for chemical fires, first aid and emergency ....
|
emergency phone numbers readily avaliable
|
|
|
Pesticide containers
always store pesiticides in original containers. If you move poison to other containers, what can happen? |
serious poisoning can happen from moving poison to other containers b/c people associate shapes of containers to their origional content. So someone might use it thinking its something else
|
|
|
always keep original label on the original container. protect label with transparent tape or lacquer. remember what here?
|
the label is the most important safety factor. do not let label become damaged or destroyed
|
|
|
never lend out a pesticide unmarked or unlabeled container. what else?
|
never go with a verbal instruction of a pesticide or verbal directions. READ IT
|
|
|
Close containers when not in use. what do dry formulas do in storage?
|
dry formulas will cake up when they get moisture. Opened bags of wettable / soluble powders, dusts, granules, s/b in sealed containers plastic bags, etc.
|
|
|
store liquid formulas and small dry formulas on metal shelving. why?
|
metal shelving won't absorb poisons. easy to clean too.
|
|
|
store liquid formulas in glass containers on lower shelves. what else?
|
don't have stuff stored sticking out so it can be knocked off and break
|
|
|
how do you store big drums of this stuff?
|
on pallets
|
|
|
check regularly for leaks breaks corrosion. what do you do if there IS a leak?

place that container inside another container. Keep label with this stuff.
|
|
|
Safety
cannot be overstressed most injuries happen because? |
carelessness
not following instructions |
|
|
wear appropiate clothing when handling this stuff
label anything you use, why? |
label everything involved in pesticide use so you don't use it later for other purposes. makes sense.
|
|
|
keep what stuff avaliable for spills?
|
clay cat litter
charchol sawdust etc to soak up spills lime and bleach for spill surfaces |
|
|
seed that has been treated is a hazard if not stored correctly. how can you tell treated seed?
|
its dyed bright color as a warning. But bright colors attract kids! never use treated seed as feed or mix w/ untreated seed. handle seeds like a pesticide, b/c it is.
|
|
|
store volitle herbicides seperatley to avoid ?
|
possible cross contamination of other pesticides, fertilizers, seeds
|
|
|
Shelf Life of Pesticides
keep inventory of this stuff on paper and shelf life of each should be known. how can you tell if a pesticide has started to break down? |
excessive clumping
poor suspension layering or weird coloration unfortunately sometimes you can't tell a product is old untill AFTER you use it! This can cause damage to your crop or surface from this |
|
|
so to help w/ storage of this stuff, don't have alot of LARGE containers of anything. Keep records like you would w/ paint cans. buy only what you need. And do what???
|
rotate your stock
first in, first out rotation |
|
|
Title III of fed superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act 1986 SARA is also called ...
|
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986. Requires reporting pesticide storage greater than a threshold planning quantity! Bureau of Hazardous Materials in Idaho handles this
|
|
|
tell your fire dept if you store ag chemicals and fertilizers. Chemical fires can't be put out easily why?
|
Chemical fires can't be put out with just water AND the smoke is TOXIC! To Firemen!!!
So they need to know this! |
|
|
Disposal
applicator has responsiblilty to get ride of this stuff. what is a concern just as much as the pesticide itself? |
the containers. Empty containers are just as a big a deal as the pesiticide is.
And improperly disposed pesticides result in contaminating groundwater and plants / crops damaged. |
|
|
So here are tips to disposal issues.
only purchase what you need, never more, meaning don't stockpile. always read label concerning its disposal info. clothing/protective gear s/b as ... |
waste and treated as such.

|
|
|
can you recycle 3X rinsed or pressure rinsed containers?
|
yes
contact ISDA for info best method of all disposing of plastic pesticide containers. |
|
|
if you mix too much poison, what can you do then (considering disposal discussion here)
|
put that extra spray on another site thats is allowed by the label
|
|
|
what do we do with the rinse water from this cleaning?

use it in future spray mix!
Don't cross contaiminate pesticides with herbicides doing this! Also dont disspose of rinse water in public or private water sources or sewage treatment facilities |
|
|
Pesticide Concentrates
whats the safest way to dispose of pesticide |
by just using it in the way it is intended. just use it correctly as stated by the label.
Or give to someone else to use or give back to dealer. |
|
|
You can check with the PDP to get ride of poison. whats that/

to reduce fire hazards:
put storage areas far away keep storage unit locked post signs on ext walls and entraces dont store glass stuff in the sunlight use a fire detection thing keep a fire extinquisher around tell fire dept what? |
where the storage place is and contents.
|
|
|
pesticide Fire if there is a fire
get everyone away from fire call fire dept tell them what in shed Give them label and material safety data sheets MSDS for technical info be aware of possible explosion of pesticide containers. keep other containers far away and cool what is the principle objective here? |
containt the fire
prevent contamination of surrounding areas only use as much water as necessary don't use heavy hose streams on this fire dike up water used to prevent stuff getting into lakes, ponds, sewers, etc |
