When there is a reasonable suspicion by the Director or commissioner that a specific workplace has been or may be unsafe for workers due to exposure to active or inert ingredients in pesticide products, or breakdown products of these ingredients, the director or commissioner may require the employer to prohibit entry of employees into that workplace. The director or commissioner may require the employer to provide medical supervision for the period of time necessary for the director to determine the safety of the workplace to protect employees who have been working in or will enter that workplace. This medical supervision may include biological monitoring of persons for possible over-exposure to pesticide product ingredients or breakdown products of these ingredients. The director or commissioner may also specify exposure time limits and protective clothing and equipment to be worn by employees under these circumstances.
