What should you do first if you start feeling sick while spraying?

Stopping spraying and consulting your supervisor is the appropriate action to take if you start feeling sick while spraying. This response allows for immediate assessment of your symptoms and ensures that safety protocols are followed to protect not only your health but also the safety of those around you. By involving a supervisor, you can receive guidance on how to address the situation, including potential medical help or stopping work altogether.

In cases where you feel unwell while working with chemicals or other potentially hazardous materials, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and the safety of others. Your supervisor may have specific procedures in place for reporting health issues that arise in the workplace, and they can take measures to ensure the area is safe and assess whether other workers may be at risk.

Taking medication immediately might not be advisable without understanding the cause of your sickness, as it could mask symptoms that need to be reported. Continuing to work, even cautiously, poses a risk to your health and can endanger your coworkers. Calling emergency services could be necessary, but typically it would be a secondary action after assessing the situation with a supervisor.
