Wear Protective Equipment

Wear protective clothing and equipment.
Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid

loose-fitting clothing.

Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hear-

ing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable hearing pro-
tection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Because operating equipment safely requires your full

attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.

Handle Chemicals Properly

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.

Do not use liquid treatments with the fertilizer kit.
Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Wear protective clothing.
Handle all chemicals with care.
Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
Never drain, rinse or wash dispensers within 100 feet of a

freshwater source, nor at a car wash.

Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by chemi-

cal manufacturer.

Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws gen-

erally require power rinsing or rinsing three times, followed
by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.
