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).
1. In a gutter-connected greenhouse without partitions, once the pesticide application is complete, when can workers re- enter parts of the greenhouse where plants were not treated with pesticide?
- A. If the pesticide label required a respiratory protection device to be used by the handler, then the entire enclosed area is considered to have been treated and all workers must stay out of the entire enclosed area until the expiration of the REI.
- B. If the pesticide was applied as a spray and the pesticide label required a respiratory protection device to be used by the handler, then workers can come back into the enclosed area during the REI once the ventilation criteria have been met, so long as they do not go into the actual treated area.
- C. If the pesticide label did not require a respiratory protection device to be used by the handler, then workers can come back into the greenhouse during the REI once the ventilation criteria have been met, so long as they stay 25 feet away from the treated area.
- D. All of the above are true.
2. If you are a rose grower:
- A. You can allow your workers to care for and harvest roses during an REI.
- B. If you have sent a completed Conditions and Certification Statement to EPA, you can allow your workers to harvest roses in accordance with the provisions of the rose growers' exception.
- C. You can allow your workers into the treated area during an REI to do work such as harvesting roses, pruning roses, or other hand labor, as long as they have read the product label.
- D. You can allow your workers into the treated area during an REI to do work such as harvesting roses, pruning roses, or other hand labor, as long as they have read the product label.
