Hazard Communication in farm safety involves informing agricultural workers and pesticide handlers about potential hazards associated with chemical use, particularly pesticides. It includes providing information on the location and description of treated areas, details about the pesticides used (such as active ingredients and safety data sheets), and understanding warning signs and entry restrictions. This communication ensures that workers are aware of the risks, symptoms of exposure, and emergency procedures to minimize health risks and ensure a safe working environment. The goal is to equip workers with the knowledge to protect themselves from chemical hazards effectively.
