To ensure safe operation
How to handle agricultural chemicals
• Do not spray the chemicals in the daytime while the temperature is high,
or on a day of strong wind. Do not spray the chemicals in a busy place
during a busy time especially when school children are likely to pass
through. If you spray the chemicals under strong sunlight, the sprayed
chemicals become concentrated and can be more potent to your health.
If you spray the chemicals on days of strong wind, the chemicals can blow
to other places and harm other people or animals, such as domestic
animals, kept bees, silk worms, or aquatic animals.
• Read and understand all the labels for the chemicals, directions, and
cautions to ensure their proper usage. Be aware of the toxicity of the
chemicals and the first aid treatment needed to prepare for the worst.
Ignoring the cautions could cause a serious accident.
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during the spray of chemicals. Wash your
hands and face carefully with soap. Also, rinse out your mouth before
taking a break or before eating or smoking after the spray work is done,
in order to protect yourself from the harm of the chemicals.
• Do not transport nor store food and drinks in the same container as the
chemicals or the power sprayer to prevent cross contamination.
• The remainder of the chemicals must be sealed and stored in a box with
a lock and key separate from the food and feed so as not to cause a
serious accident.
