When handling pesticides, what is the first step after a spill occurs?

  1. Notify management

  2. Absorb the spill with sand

  3. Identify the chemical and its hazards

  4. Neutralize the chemical immediately

The correct answer is: Identify the chemical and its hazards

After a pesticide spill occurs, the first step should be to identify the chemical and its hazards. This is important because different pesticides may require different methods and protective gear to be handled safely. The other options are incorrect because - Option A: Notifying management is important, but not necessarily the first step as prompt action should be taken to minimize potential damage. - Option B: Using sand to absorb the spill can be part of the cleanup process, but it should not be the first step as it does not address potential hazards of the chemical. - Option D: Neutralizing the chemical immediately can also be part of the cleanup process, but it should not be the first step as it may require specific knowledge and equipment to do so safely. Additionally, some pesticides may not be able to be neutralized and instead need to be contained and disposed of properly.
