States that "by law, all employees must be made aware of hazards in their workplace, which means that all turfgrass managers must have a Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program for their company." Lists the components and requirements that pesticide-using turfgrass managers must have as part of a HAZCOM program. Describes the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) performance criteria for respirators. Describes how to effectively estabilish a safety plan. Provides an "employee checklist for mower safety." Recommends that a "safety coordinator" be appointed to oversee the safety program. |
