Notice About Applications

Under most circumstances, worker employers must make sure that workers are notified about areas where pesticide applications are taking place or where restricted-entry intervals are in effect. Some pesticide labels require employers to notify workers both orally and in writing, with signs posted at entrances to treated areas. On farms, forests, and nurseries, unless the label requires this, employers must notify workers either orally or by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas. In addition, employers must inform employees about which method of notification is being used.

In greenhouses, employers are required to post signs at all treated areas and also to notify workers orally if the labeling requires both methods.
