Exposure to pesticides can happen during several steps of handling, not just when applying them. Transport is included because pesticides can leak, spill, or be mishandled while moving containers, which creates exposure risk for the handler and others nearby. That’s why transporting pesticides is recognized as one of the operations during which exposure may occur. To reduce risk, keep containers closed during transport, secure them in the vehicle, inspect for leaks, follow label directions, and avoid transporting pesticides with food or other items that could be contaminated. The other options describe activities that do not involve handling pesticides, so they aren’t exposure-prone operations.
