What action should be taken when pesticide application equipment is damaged?

  1. Continue spraying carefully

  2. Repair it immediately

  3. Use it until it completely fails

  4. Report damage after completing task

The correct answer is: Repair it immediately

Damaged pesticide application equipment should never be used until it completely fails (option C) or during the task (option A) as it can cause harm to the user and the environment. It is important to repair the damaged equipment immediately (option B) to prevent any potential risks. Reporting the damage after completing the task (option D) is not ideal as it may result in further damage or accidents, which could have been avoided if the necessary repairs were done in a timely manner. Therefore, the best course of action when facing damaged pesticide application equipment is to repair it immediately (option B).
