Safety & Health

Hazards To Humans And Domestic Animals
  • Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

  • long-sleeved shirt and long pants
  • shoes plus socks

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry

Engineering Controls
  • Engineering Controls Statement:When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
User Safety Recommendations

Users should:

  • Washhands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
  • Remove clothing/PPE immediatelyif pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
  • GROUNDWATER ADVISORY : Halosulfuron-methyl is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use.This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
  • SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months ormore after application. A level,well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of halosulfuron-methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours
  • WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES : SEDGEHAMMER+has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter. Other factors which can affect the movement of windblown soil include the intensity anddirection of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying SEDGEHAMMER+if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
  • NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY:  This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift.
