Who must have access to the pesticide use records in treated fields?

The requirement for access to pesticide use records in treated fields is designed to ensure that all individuals who engage with or work in areas where pesticides have been applied are informed and safeguarded against potential exposure. Field workers and employees must have the ability to review these records to understand what chemicals have been used, the potential hazards associated with them, and the necessary precautions they should take while working in those areas.

By allowing all field workers and employees access to this crucial information, it helps promote safety and compliance with regulations. This transparency is vital for maintaining workplace safety and ensuring that everyone is adequately informed about the risks and safety measures associated with the pesticides applied in their work environment. As a result, they can take proper steps to protect themselves and follow any required protocols when entering treated areas.

The other options do not fully support the safety and information-sharing objectives mandated by pesticide use regulations. Supervisors and managers or only certified applicators having access would not allow for comprehensive awareness among all workers who might be affected by pesticide applications.
