2. Timing and Visibility of Warning Signs
• Post signs 24 hours or less before the scheduled
application of the pesticide.
• Keep signs posted during application and throughout
the restricted-entry interval (if any).
• Remove the signs within 3 days after the end of the
restricted-entry interval. If there is no restricted-entry
interval for that application, remove the signs within 3
days after the end of the application.
• Keep workers out during the entire time the signs are
posted.
• Keep signs visible and legible while they are posted.
Posting Adjoining Areas
When several adjoining areas are to be treated
With pesticides on a rotating or sequential basis, you
may post the entire area at the same time. Worker
entry, except for early entry permitted by the WPS, is
prohibited for the entire area while the signs are posted.
Design and Size
• Each warning sign must look like the one at the right.
• You may put additional information on the warning
sign, such as the name of the pesticide or the date of
application, if it does not lessen the impact of the sign

or change the meaning of the required information. If
you add the required information in other languages,
the words must be translated correctly.
• The signs must be at least 14 inches by 16 inches,
and the letters must be at least 1 inch high. You may
use smaller signs if the treated area is too small to
accommodate 14- by 16-inch signs. For example,
when a single potted plant needs to be posted, a smaller
sign would be appropriate.
Oral Warnings to Workers
Content of oral warnings must include:
• The location and description of the treated area.
• The time during which entry is restricted.
• Instructions not to enter the treated area until the
restricted-entry interval has expired.
2. Oral warnings must be communicated to
workers in a manner (language) that they understand.
Timing Of Notice
• Workers who are on your establishment at the start
of an application must be orally warned before the
application takes place.
• Workers who are NOT on your establishment at the
start of an application must be orally warned at the
beginning of their first work period if (1) the
application is still taking place or (2) the restricted
entry interval for the pesticide is in effect.
