The EPA has issued a "stop sale, use or removal order" to DuPont for its herbicide, Imprelis, which has been the center of controversy surrounding the deaths of trees adjacent to areas it was applied to for weed control. DuPont has taken a proactive step by voluntarily suspending sales of Imprelis and will soon be conducting a product return and refund program.

 This is the time of the year when the weather is changing daily, if not more.  Now is a good time to remind your crews of dressing for the weather, but more importantly to remind them of the dressing to protect themselvse: 

• Wear Work Boots that are in good condition
• Long sleave shirts protect against the weather and debris
• Gloves - everyone should be wearing them
• Jewelry should not be worn
• Always wear Eye and Hearing Protection

Wearing the proper clothing and personal protective equipment in the working environment is critical. Appropriate clothing is your first and often only line of defense against many safety and health hazards. Click here to learn more.
