What is necessary for temporary storage of pesticides at an application site?

For the safe and compliant temporary storage of pesticides at an application site, securing pesticides and their containers is essential. This practice helps to prevent accidental spills, leaks, or unauthorized access, especially from children or animals, which can pose safety hazards. Proper storage ensures that pesticides remain in their original containers, which should be labeled clearly to avoid confusion and to provide necessary hazard information.

Additionally, secure storage helps to protect the integrity of the pesticides from environmental factors such as sunlight or rain, which can degrade the chemicals and diminish their effectiveness. This approach is aligned with best practices and regulatory guidelines for pesticide safety and management, ensuring that both applicators and the surrounding environment are protected while the materials are temporarily on site.
