& all is, for the most part, up to snuff. Storage of pesticides done correctly, all equipment marked correctly with placards, records up to date, contracts available for inspection & signed , correct flags used for flagging. Looks like a passing grade for me.............:laughing::laughing::laughing:

It's good to have your stuff in order...you jeeeest never know... -
Great to hear that some people know how to do things right. What did they do, just randomly knock on your door?

Actually stopped when we were already out for the day, & left his card. Rescheduled for 7.30 yesterday morning, & went over everything at the shop. Only minor things, mainly in contract wording on active ingredients in pesticides, etc.....Overall, was impressed with our records & organization. Plus, no fines......Originally posted by 1Chavez View Post

Now you just have to keep everything organized during the busy season when you have a lot more material on hand.
ANything special about the wording?

Looks like #1. You have to have the active ingredient in any pesticides you use listed in your contract & #2. Any pertinent warnings ( the ones in small type on the label) also need to be included somewhere on your contract in 12 point type. One new one out, if applying pesticides & you are a large distance from your truck or marked vehicle (out of sight), label copy has to be on your person. Also on contracts, total pesticide cost must be noted separately from total cost of all lawn applications. Why, I have no idea...Originally posted by 1Chavez View PostNow you just have to keep everything organized during the busy season when you have a lot more material on hand.

OK. I'm still good. Fert and pesticide apps are on seperate collums and priced seperately (total cost of program/# of apps=each app price, I will not give a breakdown of how much merit costs vs a fall fert app) and I have pesticide info in the back side of the contract. I know the label has to be on your person now (retarded law)

Didn't know about that law until I took a recert course with Reg louey last winter. It is retarded. My fert & pesticide apps are on separate columns as well, they now want to see a total cost of just pesticide apps, & total cost of all apps in the contract. Mine had total cost of all apps together, even though each app was costed out separately.Originally posted by 1Chavez View PostComment

I have a total for each colum (fert and pesticide) then a total for all apps, tax, and total price

Same way I do mine. Looks like the 21 day window is still in effect. Luckily, have not had to deviate from it. Along with the wording that if exact day & time are asked for, we still have to give it to them.Originally posted by 1Chavez View PostComment

I can see some reasoning (or one possible reason) for the label being carrried on person. This one seems to be as much or more for your protection, than for the general publics. Suppose you are doing an application on steep banks, slip and fall, breaking an ankle and hitting your head on a culvert at the bottom.....the hose had become entangled in your feet and sprayed you directly in the face neck and groin as you tumbled down hill. Emergency services are called because a good samaritan saw you go down and not get up. Your truck/trailer are on the other side of the building (out of sight). The paramedics now know what that foul smelling chemical that you are bathed in is, without having to take time to find out. Am I off base here? Do you feel differently about that part of the law now?Comment

If you are dragging a hose, the EMT can follow it to the truck that has a labeled tank on it.
What if you are doing a granular app? What will having the label on your person do?

You've got to be kidding me? :alien::alien::alien:One new one out, if applying pesticides & you are a large distance from your truck or marked vehicle (out of sight), label copy has to be on your person.
Fairly soon we'll have to know the chemical composition of any given pesticide we use.....Comment

Rules And Regulations Are A Good Thing
here in hooterville we are required to label ALL spraying equipment including back-packs with names of product, AI, how much product per oz or gallon, EPA #'s, emergency contact #, and the warning word. we have to keep records that contain customers name, address, and #, address of application site, applicators name and cert #, date of app, type of things to be treated, principal pest to be controlled, acreage, area,#of plants or animals to be treated, brand or common name of pesticide, EPA product reg #,total amount of product and total amount of diluent, and type of application equipment. we are required also to have clean-up equipment with us when applying. i keep a 5 gallon bucket, a shovel, and a bag of kitty litter in the truck along with safety gear. i use white duct tape to label my stuff so i can change mixtures when needed. there is more but nothing like you yankee boys have to do, but then again this is hooterville, not new york.......
