Safety practices

Safety practices for fumigation include:

Container management: Regularly check containers and valves for leaks, and dispose of empty containers according to state regulations.

Ventilation: Before entering a storage area, run an exhaust fan to remove vapors.

Labeling: Ensure containers are labeled.

Fire safety: Conduct a fire risk assessment and provide fire safety training to employees.

Personal protection: Wear respiratory protection and avoid contact with the skin. If clothing or skin becomes contaminated, wash immediately.

Environmental protection: Use environmentally friendly fumigants and pesticides when possible.

Water safety: Avoid contaminating water supplies.

Child safety: Keep pesticides and empty containers out of reach of children.

Fumigation involves using a fumigant gas to kill infestations in a space. The space is then ventilated to allow the gases to escape.

Fumigation can be dangerous and pose risks to human health and the environment.
