Hazard and First Aid

• DANGER-POISON, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, the four distinct signal words currently found on pesticide labels,

  • Danger-Poison and a skull and crossbones appear on pesticides classified as highly toxic.

    • Danger (without the word "poison" or the skull and crossbones symbol) indicates the potential for permanent or severe damage to skin, eyes, or lungs from contact exposure.

      • Some herbicides, insecticides, and antimicrobials carry the DANGER signal word.

    • Warning signal word alone does not indicate whether the concern is systemic, contact, or both. Consult the precautionary statements that follow the signal word on the label to learn about the product's specific contact or systemic hazard for humans.

    • Caution - Contact effects are generally irritation of eyes, skin, or respiratory tract, Consult the precautionary statements that follow the signal word on the label to learn about the product's contact or systemic hazard to humans.

• Oral or dermal exposure:

  • Remove all contaminated clothing immediately.

  • Rinse the exposed area with water to dilute the pesticide and to prevent skin absorption. Use the cleanest water available.

  • Wash the affected area, including the hair, with water and soap. Then, rinse well. Showering is better than bathing to avoid prolonged contact with pesticide resides. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the skin and enhance pesticide absorption. Gently dry the affected area and wrap it in loose cloth or a blanket,

  • If the skin has chemical burns, cover the area loosely with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use ointments, greases, powders, and other medications unless instructed to do so by a medical authority.

  • Never try to give an unconscious person anything by mouth.

  • Do not induce vomiting unless the label tells you to

  • If inhalation exposure has occurred, get the victim to fresh air immediately.

  • Become familiar with the proper techniques of artificial respiration. It may be necessary if a person's breathing has stopped or becomes impaired

  • If first responders are likely to be directly exposed to a pesticide, be sure they wear appropriate PPE

• Pesticide in the Eyes

  • Because eyes readily absorb material, fast action is required.

  • Hold the eyelid open and immediately begin gently washing the eye with drips of clean water. Do not use chemicals or drugs in the wash water unless instructed to do so by a medical professional or a poison

  • Drip the water across-not directly into-the eye, or use an eyewash dispenser.

  • Continuously rinse the eye for 15 minutes. If only one eye is affected, be careful not to contaminate the other one

  • Flush under the eyelid with water to remove debris.

  • Cover the eye with a clean piece of cloth and seek medical attention immediately.

• Inhaled Pesticide

  • Immediately carry the victim to fresh air (do not allow him or her to walk).

  • Do not attempt to rescue someone who is in an enclosed, contaminated area unless you are wearing appropriate PPE.

  • Warn other people in the area of the danger.

  • Have the victim lie down and loosen his or her clothing.

  • Keep the victim warm and quiet. Do not allow him or her to become chilled or overheated.

  • If the victim is convulsing, protect his or her head, turn the head to the side, and watch that breathing continues. Do not attempt to insert anything into the person's mouth during a seizure.

  • Keep the person's chin up to ensure that air passages are open for breathing.

  • Give artificial respiration if breathing stops or is irregular,.

• Pesticide in the Mouth or Swallowed

  • If pesticide is in someone's mouth but has not been swallowed, rinse the mouth with plenty of water. Then, give the victim large amounts (up to 1 quart) of milk or water to drink.

  • If the pesticide is swallowed, one of the most critical first aid decisions is whether to induce vomiting. Induce vomiting only if the label instructs you to do so. Several pesticides cause more harm when vomited than if they remain in the stomach. To provide first aid for a swallowed pesticide, you must know the appropriate treatment. The decision to induce vomiting must be made quickly and accurately-the victim's life may depend on it.

  • Never induce vomiting if the victim:

    • Is unconscious or having convulsions.

    • Has swallowed a corrosive poison, such as a strong alkali or acid. The material burns the throat ar mouth as severely coming up as it did going down. Also, it can be aspirated into the lungs and causes damage.

    • Has swallowed an emulsifiable concentrate or oil solution product, which is dissolved in petroleum solvents. Emulsifiable concentrates and oil solutions may be fatal if aspirated into the lungs during

Formalation

• Emulisifier- mixed with oil and water

  • Bait - is a pesticide, active ingredient mixed with food or other attractive substance.

  • Works best in small amounts in many different places

• Contact treatment-the application of wet spray to kill insects immediately
