If you cannot take a shower right away, use a mild liquid detergent and warm water to wash your face, hands, forearms, and any other area that may have pesticides on it. When you remove your personal protective equipment and work clothing, put it in a plastic box or bag until it can be laundered. Do not allow children or pets to play with these items. Do not wash work clothing and personal protective equipment in the same wash water with the family laundry. Recordkeeping Keeping records of pesticide use and application is a good idea.
Records can establish proof of proper use.
If an error has been made, records are helpful in finding the cause. They also can provide you with information to use in response to claims of excess residues or damages. Records can help you reduce pesticide mistakes or misuse. If a pest is not controlled, if damage has occurred in the target area, or if a pesticide has moved off the target area and caused problems, you may be able to determine what went wrong. Then you can take steps to avoid such a situation in future pesticide applications.
