California QAL Laws & Regs Exam PrepWith 100% Correct And Verified Answers
The difference between CA laws and DPR regulations is that laws
are
Passed by the CA legislature and regulations are adopted by DPR to
carry out laws
Remember is the Department of Pesticide Regulation
Remember the Legislature makes the Laws (the law: "employers
must protect employees from harm on the job")
but the DPR makes specific Regulations (the regulation: "eyewear
must be worn, waterproof gloves, long sleeve shirts, socks, etc." to
protect that employee from harm)
A cooperating agency that helps DPR enforce pesticide use laws and
regulations in CA is the
County Agricultural Commissioner
(think of him as the local pesticide "sheriff")
When pesticide registrant (the MAKER of that pesticide) allows a
pesticide product registration (it's license to sell it in the state of
California) to lapse/end, pest control dealers (like Univar) can
continue to sell out their stock of that pesticide (stuff that they
ALREADY bought in order to sell to pest control companies) for
how many years?
2 years
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Vendarsol
,So if a Company decides they're not making a profit off of a
pesticide that has been licensed/registered in CA and they let their
license "lapse/expire", CA lets stores sell out of any product they
bought for the next 2 years.
Employee handler pesticide safety training topics (what the boss
needs to teach to his techs) do not include how to:
A) confine spray to target area
B) handle, open and lift containers
C)recognize the chemical characteristics of the pesticide
D) recognize pesticide poisoning symptoms
C) Recognize the chemical characteristics of the pesticide
(you don't NEED to know EXACTLY the chemical makeup of every
pesticide just like you don't NEED to know every ingredient in
Ketchup to understand that it is a condiment for hotdogs)
Why is it important for pesticide applications that employees receive
training on recognizing and avoiding heat stress?
Because MANY heat stress symptoms are identical to pesticide
poisoning symptoms.
The potential for pesticides leaching (soaking )
through the soil into the ground water increases
with what?
RAINFALL
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Vendarsol
,Rain washes pesticide deeper into the soil...we
don't want it continuing down hundreds of feet into our drinking
water beneath us)
Arrange these label words from least dangerous to most dangerous:
Warning/Danger/Caution
Caution, Warning, Danger
Which signal world has the word poison and a skull and crossbones on
the label?
DANGER

Danger, Warning, Caution
The hazard (DANGER) of a pesticide is a relative measure of its potential
to:
A)Harm people or the environment
B) control the pest
C) damage application equipment
D) bind to soil particles
A) Harm people or the environment
(We say something is REALLY DANGEROUS when it can REALLY harm
people/environment...like NUCLEAR waste...but we tell someone to be
"cautious" not to get soap in their eyes when bathing)
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Vendarsol
, Which of the following is the MOST frequent route of pesticide exposure
for pesticide handlers?
A) Oral (through your mouth)
B) Dermal (through your skin)
C) Inhalation (breathing it in)
D) Eye
Dermal
Every time you fill up a backpack sprayer, you risk getting that crap on
your hands and wrists.
Which of the formulation offers the greatest possibility of dermal (skin)
absorption?
A) Oil soluble formulations (these smell like gas and look like motor oil)
B) Water-soluble liquids (like the Wisdom TC you spray)
C) Granulars (like the bifen dry chemical you apply on lawns)
D) Powder formulations (like a pesticide dust that we use for roaches)
Oil soluble formulations
Remember how oil SOAKS into a concrete driveway and stains it....it's
EASILY absorbed.
The most important step when a pesticide spill occurs is to:
A) Thoroughly soak the area to dilute the spilled pesticide
B) Direct the spilled pesticide away from the area
C) Prevent people from contacting the spilled
pesticide
D) Salvage as much as possible of the spilled

C) Prevent people from contacting the spilled
pesticide
