The appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets shall be reviewed with all personnel involved in the handling of pesticides.
The following material from the U.S. EPA document entitled Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Private and Commercial Applicators shall be reviewed with all personnel involved in handling pesticides.
CLEAN UP OF PESTICIDE SPILLS
Minor Spills
Keep people away from spilled chemical. Rope off the area and flag it to warn people. Do not leave unless someone is there to confine the spill and warn of the danger. If the pesticide was spilled on anyone, wash it off immediately.
Confine the spill. If it starts to spread, dike it up with sand or soil. Use absorbent material such as soil, sawdust, or an absorbent clay to soak up the spill. Shovel all contaminated material into a leakproof container for disposal. Dispose of it as you would excess pesticides. Do not hose down the area because this spreads the chemical. Always work carefully and do not hurry.
Do not let anyone enter the area until the spill is completely cleaned up.
Major Spills
The cleanup of a major spill may be too difficult for you to handle, or you may not be sure of what to do.
In either case, keep people away, give first aid, if needed, and confine the spill. Then call the Montana Department of Agriculture, Chemtrec, and the local fire department for help. Chemtrec stands for Chemical Transportation Emergency Center, a public service of the Manufacturing Chemicals Association. Its offices are located in Washington, D.C. Chemtrec provides immediate advice for those at the scene of emergencies and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to receive calls for emergency assistance. Their toll free number is 800-424-9300. This number is for emergencies only.
