Weed Spray Safety Notes

When Using Weed Spray:

• Check the equipment for damage including the hose reel. (If damage is found remove the applicator from service and apply a “Do Not Use” tag.)
• Inspect the work area for hazards.
• Ensure that only the intended weeds are being effected and over spray is not effecting other plants, waterways, people or public areas. Always stand upwind to the target zone.
• Maintain sensory awareness of approaching weather systems
