Fred Whitford, Purdue University
Indiana CCHs: 1 each in 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5, 6, 7a, 7b, 7d, 8 & RT A pesticide spill can happen to anyone, so preplan how to respond on the contingency that it will happen to you. Your emergency preparedness—or lack of it—will have a direct impact on the severity of the spill, that is, on the degree of injury and/or contamination it causes. It takes a team approach to deal with a major spill. Don't panic! Exercising common sense and keeping calm will help you through the worst of spills. To be effective, a company's spill response efforts must be built around all employees—supervisors, applicators, and office staff—working as a team to address the crisis. Company owners and management, office staff, and applicators who are trained to work as a team when a chemical spill occurs can effectively reduce the severity of damage. Are you and your company prepared? |
