Abstract

This poster introduces new pest control technicians to the general actions to be taken in the event of pesticide exposure. Technicians learn to recognize symptoms of exposure as they watch videos linked to the quick response (QR) codes on the poster. The videos detail general first aid steps to undertake until medical help arrives after a pesticide exposure. This poster will serve as a valuable training tool for new technicians as they learn about pesticide safety, and will be a good refresher tool for pesticide applicators.
