Pesticide Labels and Safety Data Sheets | New York Approval #NY-24-426640

Instructor: Jolene Hendrix

Pesticide labels and safety data sheets (SDS) contain much of the same information. While the label is considered the law, that is not the case with an SDS. As an applicator, it is vital to understand the difference between a pesticide label and a safety data sheet and know what information can be found in each document. This course, which has been approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, will review the various parts of pesticide labels and safety data sheets to identify the similarities and differences.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Identify the content and sections of pesticide labels and safety data sheets (SDS).
• Outline the differences between information such as signal words and PPE on pesticide labels and safety data sheets.
• Explain how to use pesticide labels and safety data sheets to prepare applications.
