Which type of warning might you find on a pesticide label?

A pesticide label typically includes various types of warnings to help users understand the risks associated with the product and how to handle it safely. A precautionary statement is specifically designed to inform users about the precautions they should take to minimize exposure to the pesticide and to prevent any adverse effects. This type of statement may include recommendations for protective clothing, equipment, and specific behaviors to follow during application.

Caution statements, while also present on some labels, generally indicate a lower level of hazard compared to precautionary statements that are more focused on safety practices. Hazard statements convey important information about the dangers of the product but do not always provide specific guidance on safe handling. Risk assessments are not typically found on pesticide labels; they are usually conducted separately to evaluate the risks associated with a chemical.

Thus, precautionary statements are integral to guiding users in safely managing the use of pesticides, emphasizing the importance of safety and risk mitigation.
