What document complements the actual pesticide label?

The document that complements the actual pesticide label is the Worker Protection Standard provisions. This regulation is designed to protect agricultural workers and handlers of pesticides. It outlines safety requirements, including the provision of information about the hazards of pesticide exposure, necessary precautions, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

The pesticide label itself provides critical information about how to use the product safely and effectively, including dosage, applicability, and safety measures. However, the Worker Protection Standard provisions enhance this information by addressing the overall safety practices necessary to protect workers involved in applying pesticides and those who may come into contact with treated areas.

By adhering to both the pesticide label and the Worker Protection Standard, users ensure that they are following legal and safety requirements, thereby reducing the risk of injury and improving the overall safety of pesticide application practices. This relationship between the label and the Worker Protection Standard is essential for compliance and the protection of agricultural workers.
