What must a non-certified employee do before applying pesticides?

  1. Read all safety protocols thoroughly

  2. Obtain preauthorization from the supervisor

  3. Undergo training sessions

  4. Ensure all equipment is available

The correct answer is: Read all safety protocols thoroughly

A non-certified employee is required to understand the safety protocols before applying pesticides to ensure that they are aware of the potential hazards and necessary precautions associated with pesticide application. Reading safety protocols thoroughly helps to minimize risks, protect the health of the worker, and prevent harm to the environment. It is essential for non-certified personnel to have a solid understanding of these protocols to safely handle pesticides and respond effectively in case of an emergency. While obtaining preauthorization from a supervisor, undergoing training sessions, and ensuring all equipment is available are important actions in the overall pesticide application process, they do not directly address the immediate need for knowledge about safety measures. Understanding safety protocols lays the groundwork for all subsequent steps in pesticide application, making it a fundamental responsibility for anyone involved in handling these substances.
