The label and Applicator Manual may be sent prior to the shipment, or secured to containers holding fumigant.

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.
