LEYTE | June 21, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0– During the Training of Trainers (TOT) on \u201cGood Agricultural Practices (GAP) – Anchored in Banana Production\u201d organized by the ATI-RTC 8 last June 20, 2022, Provincial Officer (PO) Eric Casta\u00f1as discussed the Safe and Judicious Use of Agricultural Pesticide Products to 25 Agricultural Extension Workers (AEW).<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

He elaborated on the importance and the legal provision in labeling pesticide. According to Article V of the FPA Rules and Regulation No. 1 series of 1997, a proper pesticide label should be:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • In every container of pesticide offered for sale, distribution, storage, and use;<\/span><\/li>
  • Printed, stenciled, marked, embossed, or impressed on or attached to the container in a way its whole content can be read without detaching;<\/span><\/li>
  • In English or any major dialect; and<\/span><\/li>
  • Legible and distinct in its meaning.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    PO Casta\u00f1as cautioned that labels should not be detached, altered, defaced, changed or destroyed in whole or in part and read multiple times.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    He explained that pesticide exposure can be occupational, spray drift or environmental, by accident or intention. He further added that poisoning can be through dermal exposure, oral ingestion, and respiratory exposure.<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    In case of suspected poisoning, PO Casta\u00f1as instructed:<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    • To let the poisoned person take a bath using alkaline soap, as a first aid treatment;<\/span><\/li>
    • Applying egg white within 1 hour of the incident is also advisable;<\/span><\/li>
    • If eyes were exposed, rinse them with running water;<\/span><\/li>
    • Mouth wash using 1 tbs of baking soda per glass of water is also advised; and<\/span><\/li>
    • When condition does not improve after following label directions for first aid, immediately seek medical attention and bring the product label for the doctor to see.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      PO Casta\u00f1as ended his lecture with ways on how to properly and safely store and dispose pesticides. He reminded the group to always wear proper attire when handling harmful chemicals.<\/span><\/p>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      \u201cTo reduce pesticide exposure, the applicator should always wear proper PPEs. This includes a wide-brimmed hat, goggles or face shields, masks, long-sleeved shirt, gloves, long pants, apron, and boots,\u201d he coached. ###<\/span><\/p>
