What does the term 'facility security' refer to in pesticide management?

• A. Procedures for transporting pesticides securely.
• B. Measures taken to prevent unauthorized access to pesticide storage areas.
• C. The process of preparing pesticides for application, including dilution and transfer.
• D. Notice to the user on pesticide labels.

Answer: (B)

Facility security focuses on preventing unauthorized access to pesticide storage areas and protecting stored pesticides from theft or misuse. It involves physical and procedural measures such as locked storage, restricted access (keys or codes), proper lighting and surveillance, and routine inventory checks to ensure only authorized personnel handle the products. This is about securing pesticides where they are stored, not about transporting them, preparing or applying them, or the notices that appear on labels.
