What requirement applies for minimal exposure pesticides marked with the signal word "CAUTION"?

The requirement for minimal exposure pesticides marked with the signal word "CAUTION" is that employers must provide decontamination facilities at the mixing/loading area. This is significant because pesticides labeled with "CAUTION" indicate a lower level of toxicity, but they still pose potential risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, ensuring that decontamination facilities are available is critical for workers who may come into contact with these pesticides. The decontamination facilities provide necessary resources for workers to clean themselves and any equipment that may have come into contact with the pesticide, thereby reducing the risk of exposure and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

While training on pesticide safety is indeed important and may be required generally, the specific focus of minimal exposure pesticides under the "CAUTION" label emphasizes the need for decontamination options rather than solely relying on training. Similarly, although limiting pesticide handling to trained personnel is a good safety measure, it does not directly relate to the obligation of providing decontamination facilities. Mandatory health screenings apply to specific circumstances but are not a standard requirement for handling pesticides labeled with "CAUTION."
