CATRON, PHILIP E. 1984. Preventing spray-rig accidents. Grounds Maintenance 1 9(11): 24,26, 100.

An important consideration that the tree care or tree/shrub care industries deal with is the accidental spilling of dilute materials from applicator vehicles during transport between job sites. Excessive speed, following too closely, not keeping your eyes on the road, and backing up are some of the causes. Three features of spray rigs call for special driving skills: height, weight, and fluid load. Combining the above information suggests the place where most accidents occur—an intersection. Intersection conditions change constantly and sometimes quickly. Anticipating what is going on in the intersection before you get there can prevent an accident, even a fender-bender. When a truck rolls and pesticides are spilled, there are certain things that need to be done. First and foremost is that emergency medical assistance be given to any people involved. The second step is to contain the spill. Next, notify your employer.
