Speaker: Perry Nettles

Session Description

There are more and more regulations on fumigant use and storage in the United States. New guidelines from the EPA, state regulatory agencies, DOT— and now Homeland Security. With the litigation that is taking place against Round up, more and more companies need to be hyper diligent on following PPE standards on the basic pesticide products being applied. When facilities get into the realm of applying fumigants, there is a real and present risk of those associates dying if product labels and PPE is not used correctly.
