What is required when a labeled precaution requires restricting entry after application?

• A. Reentry is allowed immediately.
• B. Reentry is prohibited forever.
• C. Reentry must occur after the restricted-entry interval and with worker compliance.
• D. Reentry requires written authorization every time.

Answer: (C)

Restricted-entry intervals protect workers by limiting entry after a pesticide is applied. Reentry is allowed only after that interval has elapsed and when workers follow the label’s requirements, including wearing the prescribed PPE and performing only tasks allowed by the label. This is why the correct answer is that reentry must occur after the restricted-entry interval and with worker compliance. Immediate reentry would violate the interval, and reentry forever is not how REIs work since they are time-limited by the label. Requiring written authorization every time isn’t how label-based entry rules operate—the label itself specifies the timing and the required practices.
