Pesticides must always be locked.

• A. False
• B. Only During Transport
• C. True
• D. Only For Certain Products

Answer: (C)

Pesticides are toxic chemicals, so keeping them locked whenever they are not in use protects people, pets, and the environment from accidental exposure or misuse. The best practice is to store every pesticide in a securely locked cabinet or room, clearly labeled, and in the original containers with labels intact. Access should be limited to trained, authorized personnel, and you should maintain an up-to-date inventory. They should be kept away from food, drink, animal feed, and other chemicals to prevent contamination or dangerous reactions. This requirement applies to all pesticides, not just some products or only during transport, so the statement is true.
