Before fieldworker employees are allowed to enter pesticide-treated fields, what information must the operator of the property inform them about?

The operator of the property must inform fieldworker employees about the availability and location of the pesticide use records and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) before they enter pesticide-treated fields. This information is crucial for ensuring the safety of the workers. The pesticide use records provide details on what chemicals have been applied, including the active ingredients, application dates, and any specific precautions that must be taken. Similarly, Safety Data Sheets contain vital safety information, such as potential health hazards, necessary protective equipment, and first-aid measures in case of exposure.

By being informed about this documentation, fieldworkers can make informed decisions about their safety and health while working in potentially hazardous environments. It empowers them to understand the risks associated with pesticide exposure and to follow appropriate safety protocols, effectively reducing the chances of accidents and health issues related to pesticide application.
