This quiz was prepared by the Society of American Florists (SAF) for you and is reprinted with SAF permission. This test is difficult - as is the real inspection. Note: In answering the following questions, you are to assume that each question applies to pesticide applications in a greenhouse (rather than to pesticide applications in an open field).

- A. Workers must stay out of the greenhouse until the REI has expired, unless they have been trained and equipped as early entry workers.
- B. Workers must stay out of the greenhouse until the ventilation criteria have been met.
- C. Workers can be in the greenhouse during the application, so long as they stay out of the treated area plus 25 feet in all directions.
- D. Workers can be in the greenhouse during the application so long as they stay out of the treated area.
2. Signs must be:
- A. Only in English.
- B. Only in English, as long as a skull and crossbonesare also shown on the sign.
- C. In Spanish, with the required symbol (in California, skull and crossbones; in other states, stern-faced farmer and palm indicating no entry; skull and crossbones for fumigant applications in any state).
- D. In English and the most common other language used by workers in the greenhouse (usually Spanish), with the required symbol (in California, skull and crossbones; in other states, stern-faced farmer and palm indicating no entry; skull and crossbones for fumigant applications in any state).
