Containment pads should be used where large quantities of pesticides are handled or mixed. Which option corresponds to this statement?

• A. Pads should be placed at building corners.
• B. Pads should be made of impermeable materials.
• C. Pads should be used where large quantities of pesticides are handled or mixed.
• D. Pads are never required.

Answer: (C)

Containment pads are used to catch and absorb spills right where pesticides are being handled or mixed, especially when large amounts are involved. Using pads in those high-risk areas helps prevent spills from reaching the floor, soil, or waterways and makes cleanup faster and safer for workers. That exact idea is what this option conveys—that pads should be used where large quantities of pesticides are handled or mixed. The other statements don’t specify where to deploy pads (placing them at building corners), or describe a pad’s construction (being impermeable), or claim pads aren’t required, which isn’t accurate for spill-control practices.
