What is recommended when transporting pesticides?

• A. Keep the pesticides in the truck cab to keep them dry
• B. Place pesticides in separate bags with food or feed
• C. Put pesticides in unmarked containers
• D. Carry an emergency spill kit

Answer: (D)

Carrying an emergency spill kit is the best choice because it equips you to quickly contain and clean up any spill during transport, protecting people, the environment, and nearby operations. A spill kit helps limit exposure, prevents the pesticide from spreading to soil or water, and supports proper cleanup and disposal, which is a key part of safe and compliant transport.

Other options create clear risks: keeping pesticides in the truck cab can expose occupants and may violate storage rules; placing pesticides in bags with food or feed risks contamination and is unsafe and often illegal; putting pesticides in unmarked containers makes identification impossible, increasing the chance of mishandling or accidental exposure.
