Which of the following statements about transporting pesticides is true?

• A. Secure Containers In The Cargo Area And Never Allow Anyone To Ride There
• B. Leave Containers Unsecured To Save Time
• C. Transport In The Passenger Compartment
• D. Allow Riders In The Cargo Area If They Are Family Members

Answer: (A)

Transporting pesticides safely means preventing exposure and spills by keeping the products contained and away from people. The best practice is to secure all pesticide containers in the cargo area and never allow anyone to ride there. When containers are secured, they’re less likely to tip, leak, or shift during transport, which protects you, passengers, and the environment from contamination or exposure. The passenger compartment isn’t built for hazardous materials, so fumes or leaks can reach occupants and clothing, and in a crash unsecured containers can become dangerous projectiles. Leaving containers unsecured or transporting in the passenger area heightens exposure risk and safety violations, and allowing riders in the cargo area is unsafe. Keeping everything secured in the cargo area is the correct approach.
