When should copies of the labels and MSDS for pesticides be available?

Having copies of the labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for pesticides available at all times is crucial for ensuring proper handling, application, and safety. This includes times when products are being stored and when they are transported.

Labels provide essential information about the pesticide's intended use, safety precautions, and emergency procedures. Similarly, MSDS contain critical details regarding the chemical properties of the pesticide, potential hazards, and first aid measures in case of an exposure incident. By making sure that these documents are accessible during storage and transportation, individuals can adhere to safety protocols and regulatory requirements effectively.

Having this information both during storage and while in transit enables personnel to be informed and prepared, which can mitigate risks associated with the use of these materials.
