The section of a pesticide label that provides guidance on what to do if someone is exposed to the product is known as the statement of practical treatment. This part of the label outlines specific actions to take in case of a spill, ingestion, skin contact, or any other form of exposure, thus serving as a critical resource for users who might find themselves in emergency situations.

Providing clear instructions for treatment ensures that users can respond quickly and effectively, potentially mitigating the health risks associated with exposure to the pesticide. This section is essential for safe handling and use of pesticides in both residential and commercial settings, enhancing the overall safety for both users and the environment.

In contrast, precautionary statements generally cover safety measures and warnings to prevent exposure, while hazard statements describe the nature of the risks posed by the pesticide. Misuse statements inform users about prohibited uses of the pesticide, emphasizing the importance of following the label instructions to ensure safety.
