To drive a vehicle carrying pesticides, the driver must be:

• A. Licensed or certified
• B. Have a medical certificate
• C. Be a licensed mechanic
• D. Have a current driving record

Answer: (A)

Handling and transporting pesticides requires proper authorization that shows the person is trained to work with these products. In Massachusetts, a driver who moves pesticides must hold a pesticide license or certification, verifying they know how to follow label directions, understand safety data, properly store and transport pesticides, respond to spills, and use required personal protective equipment. This credential protects people and the environment by ensuring the driver has proven knowledge of safe handling. A medical certificate isn’t tied to pesticide transport, a licensed mechanic isn’t relevant to requirements for carrying pesticides, and a current driving record doesn’t establish qualification to handle such hazardous materials.
