Where can the REI be located?

The REI, or Restricted Entry Interval, is the period of time following the application of a pesticide during which entry into a treated area is restricted to protect workers from potential exposure to harmful residues. This crucial information can be found directly on the pesticide label, which is a legally mandated source for all safety and usage information. The pesticide label is designed to inform users about safe handling practices, including any restrictions on entry after application.

While safety training manuals, federal guidelines, and worker training sessions may provide additional information regarding the safe use of pesticides and the importance of following guidelines, they do not specifically contain the REI for a particular pesticide. Only the pesticide label will provide the exact REI as determined by the manufacturer and approved by regulatory agencies, ensuring that users have the most accurate and relevant information about the specific pesticide being used.
