The guide is designed to provide information on how to distinguish, manage, and identify pesticide poisoning in various forms. Access to the handbook occurs through its table of contents, displayed in the site's main page. The first link, the index for symptoms and signs of poisoning, opens to reveal a table of contents, with focus on the body organ or system affected by the poison. Users should select the topic of interest to view contents. Likewise, the last link, to the index of chemical and product names, opens to reveal an alphabetical index.
Users select a category of interest to see a display of chemical names for that letter.
Selecting a name then reveals the full entry for the chemical. Within topics from the table of contents, selecting a pesticide or herbicide form opens to reveal a sublevel listing of topics, which are forms, instances, or manifestations of the poison. Then select subtopic of interest to view complete records.
