Minnesota Law holds the applicator and application company responsible for an application. In instances where the shipper and receiver may each be responsible for a portion of the application, the transfer notice and acknowledgement helps clarify responsibilities.

The label and Applicator Manual may be sent prior to the shipment, or secured to containers holding fumigant. Documents accompanying shipments undergoing fumigation must be secured to the containers exterior near placards. Place documents on the first and last rail cars of a continuous and connected line, as long as no intermediate cars will be diverted.

Placarding is an important safety notice to persons who may not be aware the container is undergoing fumigation. A person opening a container unaware that it is holding fumigant could be seriously injured. Placards must be placed on both sides of each rail car or container holding fumigant. Placards must be placed in full view near each ladder and near each hatch. Placards may not be removed until the treated commodity is completely aerated and the application is complete.

A placard provides a warning that fumigation is underway. It must contain the signal word from the products label, warning symbols and a fumigation statement. A placard also records the product name, the date and time fumigation began, and the name, address and telephone number of the applicator. Placards are available from the product manufacturer or the internet.
