What provisions are included as part of pesticide labeling in addition to the actual pesticide label?

The inclusion of worker protection standard provisions as part of pesticide labeling is critical for ensuring the safety of those who handle or may be exposed to pesticides. These provisions are designed to protect agricultural workers and pesticide handlers from potential hazards associated with pesticide exposure. They include requirements such as posting warning signs, providing decontamination supplies, and ensuring proper training for workers on how to handle pesticides safely.

In contrast, pesticide formulation guidelines, aerial application guidelines, and restricted use certifications, while important in their own contexts, are not typically included as part of the pesticide label. Pesticide formulation guidelines detail how the chemical compounds in a formulation should be mixed, but they do not directly pertain to the safety protocols for workers. Aerial application guidelines provide instructions specific to the application method but are not standardized provisions found on an actual pesticide label. Restricted use certifications relate to the qualifications needed for certain individuals to apply specific types of pesticides and are separate from label information regarding worker safety.
