B. Related To Fuel:
1. Gasoline is highly flammable. Respect it.
2. Do not smoke or permit others to smoke while
handling gasoline.
3. Always use approved containers for gasoline.
4. Always shut off the engine and permit it to cool
before removing the cap of the fuel tank.
5. If the fuel container spout will not fit inside the fuel
tank opening, use a funnel.
6. When filling the fuel tank, stop when the gasoline
reaches one inch from the top. This space must
be left for expansion. Do not overfill.
7. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
C. When Spreading:
1. Keep adults, children and pets away from the area
to be spread.
2. Spread only in daylight.
3. Always check the area to be spread and remove
debris and other objects prior to spreading.
4. Watch for holes, sprinkler heads and other hidden
hazards.
5. Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
6. Always have proper footing on slopes and hill
sides and never operate when conditions are
slippery. Be very careful on wet grass.
7. Always keep both hands on the handles.
8. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways.
9. Never leave the spreader unattended without
placing the ground speed control levers in neutral,
engaging the park brake, shutting off the engine
and closing the fuel shutoff valve.
10. Always park the spreader and start the engine on
a level surface with the ground speed control
levers in neutral, and the park brake engaged.
11. If you hit a solid object while spreading, place the
ground speed control levers in neutral, engage the
park brake and stop the engine. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and inspect for damage. Repair
any damage.
12. Do not operate machine on excessively steep
slopes. Go laterally or diagnolly across the slope,
not up and down the slope.
13. Always disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent
the engine from accidentally starting before
performing any maintenance on this spreader.
14. Keep the machine and especially the engine/pump
area clean and free of grease, grass and leaves to
reduce the potential for over heating and fire.
15. The speed and direction control levers located on
the handle are designed for your safety. Do not
modify them or operate the machine if they are
damaged.
D. General Requirements-Personal
Protective Equipment:
OSHA Standard 1910.132 through 1910.139
OSHA standard 1910.132 states in relevant part:
a. Protective equipment, including personal
protective equipment (PPE) for eyes, face,
head, and extremities, protective clothing,
respiratory devices, and protective shields and
barriers, shall be provided, used, and
maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition
whereever it is necessary by reason of
hazards of processes or environment,
chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or
mechanical irritants encountered in a manner
capable of causing injury or impairment in the
function of any part of the body through
absortion, inhalation or physical contact.
This standard is subject to change. Please check www.osha.gov

General
Sometimes, it is not possible to reduce a hazard by eliminating it,
substituting a less hazardous process or product, making changes
to equipment, or even by changing how you do the job. That’s
when you need personal protection.
PPE includes items like gloves, goggles, boots, hearing protection
and respirators. Respirators filter out particles or block gases and
vapors that can harm the respiratory system. With a surface area
well supplied with blood vessels and equal in size to a tennis court,
the lungs are the quickest and most direct route for absorbing
harmful substance into your body.
Note:
PPE does not prevent accidents, but it does prevent or re-
duce injury and even fatalities when used properly.
Equipment (PPE)
Protective equipment must be selected carefully. Always test fit
the protective equipment to be sure it fits properly and comfort
ably. If it isn’t comfortable -- it won’t be worn; if it isn’t worn -- it
won’t protect. PPE includes:
• respirators
• chemical-resistant clothing
• hearing protectors
• gloves
• safety goggles and glasses
• hard hats
• sensors to detect hazardous substance
• communication devices used for safe
deployment of workers
Inhaling pesticide fumes and mists is a very common entry route
of pesticides into the body. Absortion through the lungs is great
and the sensitivity is high.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), under authority of the Federal Mine Safety and Health
Act of 1977 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970,
tests, approves, and certifies respiratory equipment as being safe
for its intended purpose.
Note:
Always be certain that the NIOSH compliance number is
on the product before purchasing respiratory equipment.
Two systems of respiratory protection are available, depending
on the type of respiratory risk involved: air-purification (filtering)
and air-supplying. For most pesticide work, the air-purifying
equipment is adequate and safe.
Protective equipment is usually required by the pesticide label in
one form or another and is integral to safe pesticide application.
Chemical-protective clothing consists of multilayered garments
made out of various materials that protect against a variety of haz
ards. Because no single material can protect against all chemicals, multiple layers of various materials usually are used to
increase the degree of protection. Protection is maximized by to
tal encapsulation (completely covering the wearer). An assortment of types of chemical-protective hats, hoods, gloves, and
boot covers are used with the garments.
There are many brands and models of protective equipment available for use in pesticide application. Price is not always an indicator of quality, so shop carefully.
Note:
Select equipment that is
NIOSH tested and approved.
Protective equipment, appropriate for the task and hazards that an
employee could be exposed, shall be provided by the employer.
Since comfort and proper fit must be considered, the person who
is going to use it must select the proper size to ensure correct fit
and function. Unused protective equipment does not help any
one.
Note:
Many supply centers, hardware stores, chemical retailers,
and equipment/machinery dealers keep protective equipment in
stock.
Training
Written procedures shall be developed for PPE use. These procedures shall include all information and guidance necessary for
their proper selection, use and care. The employer shall provide
fitting instructions including demonstrations and practice in how
the PPE should be worn, It is essential that both supervisors and
workers be properly instructed in PPE selection, use, and mainte
nance. Training shall provide the workers an opportunity to handle PPE, and have it fitted properly.
When to replace PPE
All PPE shall be inspected routinely before and after each use. A
program for maintenance and care of PPE shall be initiated and be
adjusted to the type of work place, working conditions, and haz
ards. It shall include the following:
• inspection for defects and damage
• cleaning and disinfecting
• repair
• storage
Many factors influence how long PPE (especially respirators) remains effective. As well as hours of use, an air-purifying respirator’s service life is affected by the concentration of dust and other
contaminants in the enviroment; the user’s body size; how strenu
ously the user works while the respirator is worn; and how the respirator is stored.
Note:
As a result, it’s not possible to specify a length of time after
which a respirator should be replaced.
In general, replace a mask or filter when it is visibly dirty or damaged, or when you experience difficulty breathing through it. Replace respirator cartridges when you can smell or taste chemical
while or after using the respirator, or according to the manufactur
er’s recommendations. Replacement or repairs shall be done only
by experienced person with parts designed for the PPE. No at
tempts shall be made to replace components or to make adjust-
ments or repairs beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.
