# §170.222. Providing specific information about applications.


When handlers (except those employed by a commercial pesticide handling establishment) are on an agricultural establishment and, within the last 30 days, a pesticide covered by this subpart has been applied on the establishment or a restricted-entry interval has been in effect, the handler employer shall display, in accordance with this section, specific information about the pesticide.

- (a) **Location, accessibility, and legibility.** The information shall be displayed in the same location specified for the pesticide safety poster in [§ 170.235(d)](/cfr/40/170.235.md?p=d) of this part and shall be accessible and legible, as specified in § [170.235(e)](/cfr/40/170.235.md?p=e) and [(f)](/cfr/40/170.235.md?p=f) of this part.
- (b) **Timing.**
  - (1) If warning signs are posted for the treated area before an application, the specific application information for that application shall be posted at the same time or earlier.
  - (2) The information shall be posted before the application takes place, if handlers (except those employed by a commercial pesticide handling establishment) will be on the establishment during application. Otherwise, the information shall be posted at the beginning of any such handler's first work period.
  - (3) The information shall continue to be displayed for at least 30 days after the end of the restricted-entry interval (or, if there is no restricted-entry interval, for at least 30 days after the end of the application) or at least until the handlers are no longer on the establishment, whichever is earlier.
- (c) **Required information.** The information shall include:
  - (1) **The location and description of the treated area.**
  - (2) **The product name, EPA registration number, and active ingredient(s) of the pesticide.**
  - (3) **The time and date the pesticide is to be applied.**
  - (4) **The restricted-entry interval for the pesticide.**
