How should a uniform treated with permethrin be marked?

When treating a uniform with permethrin, it is crucial to ensure that the treatment is properly documented to provide important information about its application and safety. Marking the inside of the uniform with "permethrin treated" and the date serves several essential purposes.

First, it informs the wearer and anyone else who may handle the uniform that it has been treated with an insect repellent, which is vital for safety and awareness. The date of treatment is also important, as permethrin has a limited effective lifespan, and this information helps users know when the treatment may need to be reapplied.

In contrast, marking the outside of the uniform or attaching a tag may not provide the same level of awareness and could be less visible or easily overlooked during regular use. Labeling with the washing date does not reflect the information readily needed about the treatment itself, as it does not specify that permethrin has been applied or when it should be reapplied. Proper marking of treated uniforms is essential for reinforcement of safety measures and proper management of insect repellent efficacy.
