Although there are strict government regulations regarding pesticide safety for companies that manufacture, distribute, store, and use pesticide, potentially devastating health problems that can result from failure to enforce these pesticide safety guidelines.
In addition to the regulations meant to improve pesticide safety on a commercial level, persons who apply pesticides in or around their homes should be aware of some basic pesticide safety tips. In many cases, accidents and illness can be prevented merely by exercising common sense and maintaining constant awareness of the need for pesticide safety.
If, despite your efforts to follow these pesticide safety tips, you or another individual is exposed, do not panic. Immediately wash the exposed area, and call Poison Control or another pesticide safety hotline.
If you or a loved one has suffered as the result of a violation of a pesticide safety guideline, you may be entitled to collect funds related to treatment, pain and suffering, and punitive charges designed to encourage companies to improve their pesticide safety measures. Attorneys who have experience representing persons injured due to failure to comply with pesticide safety measures may be able to offer an in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations governing pesticide safety.
