Pesticide safety is always a concern around the farm or nursery. Training employees to do the job right the first time is the best way to keep people safe and out of trouble. While it is always important to read and follow labels there may be points that might need more clarification. Here is a series of pesticide applicator topic posters to help refresh ideas for veteran pesticide applicators or are a good reference tool for new applicators. The posters include scanable quick response (QR) codes for smart phones with links to short instructional videos. Here is a link to the entire list of topics http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/topic_series_pesticide_safety_miniposters
