Washington Pesticide Laws and Safety Practice Test

What statement accompanies the signal word on the front label of a pesticide?

1. Wear Protective Clothing

2. Keep Out of Reach of Children

3. Store in a Cool Dry Place

4. Use With Caution

The correct answer is: Keep Out of Reach of Children

This is because the signal word on the front label of a pesticide indicates the level of toxicity and potential harm it poses to humans and animals. "Keep Out of Reach of Children" is therefore an important statement to accompany the signal word in order to warn parents and caretakers about the potential danger of the product to children. Option A, "Wear Protective Clothing", while also important, is typically included in the product's instructions for safe handling and use. Option C, "Store in a Cool Dry Place", and option D, "Use With Caution", do not directly relate to the potential harm of the product and are therefore incorrect as accompanying statements for the signal word on the front label.
