The three phases of a structural fumigation include:

PHASES OF A STRUCTURAL FUMIGATION

Structural Fumigation: Observing the Application

• Application Phase

• Aeration Phase

• Certification Phase

Page 6: California Department of Pesticide Regulation 1001 I Street, Sacramento CA 95814 October 2015 1 Aeration Phase Module 2.2: Sulfuryl Fluoride Labeling Structural.

• Aeration via CAPSCBA not required (unless

structure is entered before CAP aeration period ends, such as for emergencies)

Structural Fumigation: Aeration Phase

The Aeration Phase has two modules:

• Aeration via sulfuryl fluoride Product labeling

procedures SCBA is required for entry

Tape & Seal – Review SF Label & Applicator’s Manual

Food Trucks - less common sight than residential structures

Some types of construction, such as stucco, brick, masonry block, concrete, and metal, may be adequately sealed by using sealing materials, such as polyethylene sheeting, laminated paper, nonporous panels, fumigation tape, spray adhesives, foams and insulation materials. These materials are used to seal gaps in doors, windows, roof eaves, loading docks, pipes, vents, and other openings. When properly used, these materials can adequately confine the fumigant within the structure.

Breaking of seal, removal of clips/snakes, and removal of tarps are not referenced under “Aeration & Reentry” in any SF labeling, but have to occur before entry into structure.

On SF labels, the paragraph under Aeration & Reentry addresses directing fan into attic, and activating fan of central air handling system or placing fan in front of furnace inlet

All SF labeling has in bold- “During the initial one hour aeration procedure, approvedrespiratory protection must be worn until the concentration of {product name} is confirmed not to exceed 1 ppm with an approved detection device”

Aeration Procedure 1 / Step 1: Addresses fan capacity , opening of operable windows and doors, and minimum 1 hr. active aeration

These pictures portray stage 2 of the Aeration Process Timeline. Clips and snakes have been removed, some tarps have been removed in preparation for 1 hour active aeration. Aeration has commenced (see Aeration Timeline), licensee in opened garage is wearing an SCBA as this is the initiation of aeration in preparation of the 1 hour active aeration . SCBA complies with 6780. Fan in foreground to be placed in garage and turned on. Unknown if operable windows are open. Licensee on roof is wearing SCBA as required by label during initiation of aeration in preparation for the 1 hour active aeration procedure. Wearing of SCBA complies with 6780

Answer: Yes (if visor is down). Information is complete, and posted in a prominent place (a bystander could see it if needed in case of emergency).

Sticker posted onto sun visor inside the cab of the truck

If this sticker was stored inside the glove box rather than posted,

that would not be in compliance.

Requirement # 13 Emergency Medical CareIs this posting in compliance (yes or no) ?

Structural Fumigation: Aeration via sulfuryl fluoride labeling

Click for more info

The employer must have CONTACTED the medical facility and assured that it is capable of handling illnesses and injuries caused by pesticide exposure - see 3CCR § 6726(a). For employees that work in a wide geographic area, the employer must post procedures for obtaining emergency medical care when the listed facility is too far away to be reasonably available. To check this ask the crew how many minutes would it take to drive from the work site to the medical facility listed on the posting?

What and how to inspect:

• Precautions taken to prevent exposure?

• Verify aeration procedures are followed correctly.• Licensee present?• Steps taken to prevent tarp crew from

overexposure?

• Is a certified SF continuous monitoring device on site?• Being used in breathing zones? • PPM level for entry known? • Ask how else to prevent exposure.

Requirement #15: SCBA/ Continuous Monitoring

Structural Fumigation: Aeration via sulfuryl fluoride labeling

Click for more info

The employer must ensure that employees who handle fumigants during introduction, aeration, and certification are not exposed above the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) for airborne contaminants listed in 8CCR § 5155.

During tear down and aeration operations, following fumigation of a typical residential structure, an overexposure situation to employees may exist.

SCBA may not always be practical due to conditions at the work site (such as use on ladders, on rooftops pulling tarps, etc.).

For this reason, the employer is given alternative methods of providing for exposure mitigation. One alternative is to employ continuous monitoring to warn employees before the PEL is reached.

Ask the licensees how they measure fumigant levels at the work site. If you suspect levels are not being controlled and employees may not be fully protected, ask the licensee to test for fumigant levels or test the working atmosphere yourself to establish exposure in excess of the PEL.

What and how to inspect:

•Check the Fumigation Log (if present) to verify that a thorough search for drains, conduits or vacuum systems etc… was conducted by the licensee and discuss this with them.•Verify that any discovered connection has been closed or the structure vacated and managed as a fumigated structure. •If there were any conduits, how were they handled and determine if their closure is adequate to keep the fumigant from going past the connection.

Requirement #20: Connecting Structures

How do you know what might be connected to an adjacent structure? Have you gone into both structures to determine if the buildings contain connected electrical conduits, drains, vacuum systems etc.… Many homes have downspout systems that are directed to belowground drains that release water to the front curb or front yard somewhere. How can you tell which drain system belongs to the fumigated structure? How do you determine that the fumigator asked the right questions? Does the licensee know about the fumigation log and is it filled out for this fumigation.

Requirement #30: Information on warning signs

• Warning Signs: specific dimensions, colors, statements, and images

• Warning Signs shall include specific information • Include fumigant trade name & active

ingredient? • Fumigator info complete? “Time shot”

included?• Difference between signs on structure vs

on tarp?

• In addition to English, is Spanish required?

• Do letters / images meet required height?

• Is it the correct color?

Neither BPC 8505.10 nor 16CCR 1974 mention requirements for the Spanish translation on the Warning Sign; however, the sign image included in regulation, which includes Spanish text (16 CCRi1974) is enforceable. The image contains the text required to be in Spanish. Companies can include other text in Spanish.

16CCR 1974(c) is not in the 2010 Structural Act. It can be found on SPCB’s website: http://pestboard.ca.gov/pestlaw/pestact.pdf
