Pesticides in storage must be secured and posted with what language combination on the warning sign?

• A. English/Spanish
• B. English/French
• C. English only
• D. Spanish only

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that safety information must be understandable to everyone who handles or may be exposed to the pesticide, so the warning sign is posted in two languages. In New Mexico, a large portion of agricultural workers are Spanish speakers, and federal rules under the Worker Protection Standard require information in languages workers understand. A bilingual English/Spanish sign ensures that both English- and Spanish-speaking workers can read the hazard warnings and storage precautions, reducing the chance of misinterpretation or improper handling. Using only one language or introducing another language would leave part of the workforceuninformed. So, English and Spanish together is the correct approach for clear, inclusive communication at pesticide storage sites.
