What should you do if you experience pesticide exposure symptoms?

Seeking medical attention immediately and notifying your supervisor is the appropriate course of action when experiencing pesticide exposure symptoms. The symptoms of pesticide exposure can vary greatly and may escalate rapidly, potentially leading to serious health consequences. Prompt medical evaluation ensures that any necessary treatment can be administered quickly, minimizing the risk of further complications.

Additionally, notifying your supervisor is crucial for ensuring that the incident is officially recorded and that any immediate safety protocols are followed, such as preventing further exposure to the chemical involved. This action also aids in protecting other workers who might be in the vicinity and allows for a proper response from safety personnel.

Taking the time to evaluate symptoms or continuing to work, as suggested by some of the other options, can lead to a deterioration of health and jeopardize safety. Documenting the incident for later review, while important, should not take precedence over immediate medical care in cases of exposure.
