Restricted Entry Intervals

By
Restricted Entry Interval (REI) is the period of time after a pesticide has been applied that agricultural workers or anyone else must not do hand labour tasks in treated areas.  The REI allows the pesticide residues and vapours to dissipate to safe levels for work to be done. Hand labour tasks involve substantial worker contact with treated surfaces such as plants, plant parts or soil.  Examples of these activities include: ·   harvesting, detasseling, thinning, weeding, scouting, planting, mowing, roguing, and packing produce into containers in the field or greenhouse. You can only do these tasks after the Restricted Entry Interval has ended.

Water Soluble Packages

By
Water Soluble Packages (WSP) are designed to reduce exposure during mixing and loading.  However, the Agricultural Handlers Exposure Task Force (AHETF) found that ►   users were more exposed when using Water Soluble Packages than Wettable Powders. Exposure occurred when users sprayed high pressure water on the packets and/or intentionally broke the packets to help them dissolve.   Use Water Soluble Packages properly to reduce exposure.   Follow these handling and mixing instructions developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the AHETF. Handling Instructions •   Mix in the spray tank only.   •   Keep the WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture the WSP.  Do not break or release the contents. •   Keep the WSP in the outer packaging until just before use. •   Keep the WSP dry until adding it to the spray tank. •   Reseal the WSP in its outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(S). •   Handle with dry gloves. If the WSP tears or ruptures before or
