Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are Barrier Laminate and Viton. If you wantmore options, follow the instructions for category H on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.

Mixers, loaders, and applicators using engineering controls, including enclosed-cockpit aerial equipment and enclosed-cab ground equipment, and mixers, loaders, and applicators using handheld equipment or handheld nozzles must wear at least (see engineering control section of this labeling for more requirements and options):

  • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
  • Shoes plus socks,
  • Chemical-resistant gloves when mixing and loading, and when applying with handheld equipment or handheld nozzles, and
  • Chemical-resistant apron when mixing and loading.

Motorized ground equipment applicators not in an enclosed cab, applicators dipping pineseedlings, and handlers engaged in cleaning up a spill or leak, or cleaning or repairing contaminated equipment, must wear:

  • Coveralls over long-sleeve shirt and long pants,
  • Chemical-resistant gloves
  • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks,
  • Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure,
  • Chemical-resistant apron, if exposed to the concentrate or applying as a pine seedling dip, and
  • A respirator with an organic-vapor cartridge with a prefilter approved for pesticides (MSHA/NIOSH approval number prefix TC-23C), or a canister approved for pesticides (MSHA/NIOSH approval number prefix TC-14G), or a NIOSH-approved respirator with an organic vapor (OV) cartridge or canister with any N, R or P or He prefilter

See Engineering Controls for additional requirementsand options. 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. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them

User Safety Recommendations

Users should:

  • Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
  • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
  • Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Engineering Controls
  • Water soluble packets, when used correctly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Worker Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)]. Mixers and loaders handling this product while it is enclosed in intact water soluble packets may elect to wear reduced PPE of long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, a chemical-resistant apron, and chemical-resistant gloves. When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down.” Engineering Controls for Mixers and Loaders: Water-soluble packets when used correctly qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides [40CFR 170.240(d)(4)]. Mixers and loaders using water-soluble packets must:
  1. Wear the personal protective equipment required in the PPE section of this labeling for mixers and loaders using engineering controls, and
  2. Be provided and have immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a broken package, spill, or equipment breakdown: 1
  • Chemical-resistant footwear, and
  • A respirator of the type specified in the PPE section of this labeling.

Engineering Controls for Applicators using Enclosed Cab Motorized Ground Equipment:When applicators use motorized groundboom or airblast equipment with an enclosed cabthat meets the definition in the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(5)] for dermal protection, they must:

  • Wear the PPE specified on this labeling for applicators using enclosed cabs, and
  • Either wear a respirator of the type specified in the PPE section of this labeling OR use an enclosed cab that is declared inwriting by the manufacturer or by a government agency to provide at least asmuch respiratory protection as the respirator specified above,
  • Be provided and must have immediately available for use in an emergency when they must exit the cab in the treated area:
  1. Coveralls,
  2. Chemical-resistant gloves,
  3. Chemical-resistant footwear,
  4. Chemical-resistant headgear if overhead exposure, and.
  5. If using an enclosed cab that provides respiratory protection, a respirator of the type specified in the PPE section of this labeling.
  • Take off any PPE that was worn in the treated area before reentering the cab, and
  • Store all such PPE in a chemical-resistant container, such as a plastic bag, to prevent contamination of the inside of the cab.

Engineering Controls for Aerial Applications:Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit in a manner than meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40CFR 170.240(d)(6)]. Human flagging is prohibited.

Environmental Hazards
  • This chemical can contaminate surface water through aerial and ground spray applications. Under some conditions, it may alsohave a high potential for runoff into surface water after application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
  • This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water ispresent or to intertidal areas below the meanhigh-water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
  • This product is highly toxic to bees exposed directly to applicationresidues on crops. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. Protective information may be obtained from your Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Disposal
  • DO NOT contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
  • STORAGE:Store in a cool, dry place. Always store pesticides in the original container. If a leaky container must be contained withinanother, mark the outer container to identify the contents. The storage area must be dry, well-lit, and well-ventilated. Keep pesticide storage areas clean. Clean up spills promptly. Store pesticides away from food, feed, seed and fertilizers.
  • PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: To avoid wastes, use all material in this container by application according to label directions. If wastes cannot be avoided, offer remaining product to a waste disposal facility or pesticide disposal program (often such programs are run by state or local governments or by industry).
  • CONTAINER DISPOSAL:Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Completely empty bag into application equipment. Then offer for recycling if available or dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning. If burned stay out of smoke.
  • SPILL OR LEAK:A small spill can be handled routinely. Use adequate ventilation and wear an air-supplied respirator to prevent inhalation. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye protection to prevent skin and eye contact. Use the following procedures:
  1. Sweep up spilled material being careful not to create dust.
  2. Place sweepings in an open drum.
  3. Generously cover the contaminated areas with a common household detergent. Using a stiff brush and small amounts of water, work the detergent into the spill material forming a slurry. Do not splatter on one's self or bystanders. Completely avoid skin and eye contact with this material. Brush the slurry into cracks and crevices and allow to stand for 2 -3 minutes.
  4. Spread a suitable absorbent such as clay, sawdust, or kitty litter on the slurried liquid. Shovel absorbed material into an open drum.
  5. Repeat if necessary.
  6. Flush area with water while observing proper environmental considerations. Seal drum and dispose of contaminated material in an approved pesticide landfill.

Large spills must be handled according to a predetermined plan. For assistance in developing a plan, contact Gowan Company.
