22 22 Answer: Yes (if visor is down). Information is complete, and posted in a prominent place (a bystander could see it if needed in case of emergency). Sticker posted onto sun visor inside the cab of the truck If this sticker was stored inside the glove box rather than posted, that would not be in compliance. “Emergency Medical Care Posting” was one of the most common violation categories in structural inspections (2009- 11). “Emergency Medical Care Posting” was one of the most common violation categories in structural inspections (2009- 11). Requirement # 13 Emergency Medical Care Is this posting in compliance (yes or no) ? Structural Fumigation: Aeration via sulfuryl fluoride labeling Click for more info The employer must have CONTACTED the medical facility and assured that it is capable of handling illnesses and injuries caused by pesticide exposure - see 3CCR § 6726(a). For employees that work in a wide geographic area, the employer must post procedures for obtaining emergency medical care when the listed facility is too far away to be reasonably available. To check this ask the crew how many minutes would it take to drive from the work site to the medical facility listed on the posting? (click to close)

23 23 For more information: 3CCR § 6780 Check Inspection Procedures Manual / SF Labeling For more information: 3CCR § 6780 Check Inspection Procedures Manual / SF Labeling What and how to inspect: Precautions taken to prevent exposure? Verify aeration procedures are followed correctly. Licensee present? Steps taken to prevent tarp crew from overexposure? Is a certified SF continuous monitoring device on site? Being used in breathing zones? PPM level for entry known? Ask how else to prevent exposure. Requirement #15: SCBA/ Continuous Monitoring Structural Fumigation: Aeration via sulfuryl fluoride labeling Click for more info The employer must ensure that employees who handle fumigants during introduction, aeration, and certification are not exposed above the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) for airborne contaminants listed in 8CCR § 5155. During tear down and aeration operations, following fumigation of a typical residential structure, an overexposure situation to employees may exist. SCBA may not always be practical due to conditions at the work site (such as use on ladders, on rooftops pulling tarps, etc.). For this reason, the employer is given alternative methods of providing for exposure mitigation. One alternative is to employ continuous monitoring to warn employees before the PEL is reached. Ask the licensees how they measure fumigant levels at the work site. If you suspect levels are not being controlled and employees may not be fully protected, ask the licensee to test for fumigant levels or test the working atmosphere yourself to establish exposure in excess of the PEL.
