(chemical, petroleum, pesticide) during the harvesting operation the following action
will be implemented.

Should a field sanitation unit leak or spill, workers will cease operation immediately.
Any affected produce will be disposed of through regular disposal avenues typically
used by the farming operation for trash removal. All effort will be made to insure the
contaminated product does not enter the food chain. Workers are instructed and
expected to report such leaks or spills to their supervisors.
