§ 14006 Restricted Material Use Rules

This law tells the state when and how a dangerous material can be used or kept in different places, and can even ban it if it might cause harm.

Key Takeaways

•The state decides the time, place, and safety rules for using restricted materials.
•Use is only allowed when it’s pretty sure no one will get hurt and there’s no safer alternative.
•A permit or direct supervision by the commissioner is usually required, plus limits on area, safety conditions, amount, mixtures, and owner agreement.

Example

A company wants to spray a pesticide (a restricted material) in a warehouse.

The company must wait until the state says it’s allowed, get a permit from the commissioner, follow safety rules, keep the amount below the limit, and get the warehouse owner to agree to the safety conditions. If any of those steps aren’t met, they can’t use the pesticide.

The regulations shall prescribe the time when, and the conditions under which, a restricted material may be used or possessed in different areas of the state, and may prohibit its use or possession in those areas. This usage shall be limited to those situations in which it is reasonably certain that no injury will result, or no nonrestricted material or procedure is equally effective and practical. They may provide that a restricted material shall be used only under permit of the commissioner or under the direct supervision of the commissioner, subject to any of the following limitations: (a) In certain areas. (b) Under certain conditions relating to safety. (c) When used in excess of certain quantities or concentrations. (d) When used in certain mixtures. (e) In compliance with the industrial safety orders of the Department of Industrial Relations and any order of the director or commissioner. (f) On agreement by the owner or person in possession of the property to be treated to comply with certain conditions. (g) Any other limitation the director determines to be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this chapter. This section shall become operative on January 1, 1991. (Repealed (in Sec. 7) and added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1284, Sec. 8. Section operative January 1, 1991, by its own provisions.)
