Multiple Choice

Which measure would best reduce spill risk during transport?

Having a spill kit on hand during transport gives you the tools to quickly contain and clean up any pesticide spills, which minimizes how far a spill can spread, protects the handler from exposure, and reduces environmental impact. A spill kit includes absorbent material to soak up liquids, a shovel to collect solids, protective clothing and equipment to prevent contact, and appropriate disposal supplies. This readiness means you can act immediately and keep a spill from becoming a bigger problem. The other options either increase risk or do not address containment: venting a container can release contents, transporting in the passenger cabin endangers people, and using non-secured pallets can lead to shifting and leaks.
