Section 6700 - Scope

This group specifies work practices for:

(a) employees who mix, load, apply, store, transport, or otherwise handle pesticides for any use, except for manufacturing, formulating or repackaging of pesticides; and

(b) for employees who are exposed to residues of pesticides after application to fields.

The requirements of this group do not allow a lower standard of protection when pesticide labeling statements require a higher standard of protection.

The requirements of this group do not apply to storage and transportation of pesticides in the manufacturer's sealed or closed container. In general, the work practices and safety requirements stated in this group are designed to reduce risk of exposure and to ensure availability of medical services for employees who handle pesticides, and to provide safe working conditions for field and other workers.
