Special Disclaimers
The Everyday Hazmat User’s Training Guide is intended to help USDA Forest Service employees who are responsible for using, transporting, storing, or disposing of hazardous materials. It is based on relevant laws and regulations, but it is not the law, nor is it USDA Forest Service policy. More specific laws may be in effect in certain States and localities. If the guide conflicts with any law, regulation, or policy, follow the law, regulation, or policy. All such conflicts should be brought to the attention of the engineering program leader at the Missoula Technology and Development Center (MTDC) and the user’s regional environmental engineering staff.
This publication does not contain recommendations
for the use of pesticides, nor does it imply that the uses discussed here
have been registered. All uses of pesticides must be registered by appropriate
State
and/or Federal agencies before they can be recommended.
CAUTION: Pesticides can be injurious to humans, domestic animals, desirable plants, and fish or other wildlife—if they are not handled or applied properly. Use all pesticides selectively and carefully. Follow recommended practices for the disposal of surplus pesticides and pesticide containers.
