What posting is required when applying near sensitive areas such as schools, parks, or residential areas?

• A. Post a notice for the general public about the application.
• B. No posting is required in these situations.
• C. Post at a site before applying near sensitive areas such as schools, parks, or residential areas.
• D. Post only after the application is completed.

Answer: (C)

Posting at the treatment site before you start spraying near sensitive areas is required to give advance warning to anyone who might be entering the area. This helps protect public health by letting people know that an application is taking place and what restrictions or reentry rules apply. The sign should be placed where it’s visible at all access points to the treated area and left in place for the duration of the required restrictions, as specified on the product label. Choices that suggest posting after the work or not posting at all don’t provide the needed warning and don’t meet typical labeling requirements.
