Definition should include

• required PPE
• toxicity categories
• exposure routes/pathways
• symptom recognition for workers handling crop and non-crop pesticides
• emergency first aid procedures/protocols.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What PPE must be worn when handling herbicides labeled with higher toxicity categories during vegetation management, and what risks does each item protect against?
• When does an applicator need to assess toxicity category information on the pesticide label before performing mixing, loading, or application tasks in an area?
• Where can an applicator identify the primary exposure routes for a pesticide—such as dermal, inhalation, or oral—when evaluating risk in roadside or utility corridor or agricultural operations?
• Why is early symptom recognition of pesticide exposure critical for applicators working in isolated or extended right‑of‑way locations and agricultural fields?
• How should an applicator perform emergency first‑aid procedures if accidental pesticide exposure occurs during application activities?
