The choice indicating that recognizing the chemical characteristics of the pesticide is not included in employee handler pesticide safety training is indeed the correct answer.

Pesticide safety training for employee handlers typically focuses on practical aspects that directly impact worker safety during the handling and application of pesticides. This includes the importance of using personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure, understanding the application process to ensure efficiency and safety during pesticide application, and knowing proper disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and comply with regulations.

While recognizing chemical characteristics such as toxicity or persistence can be important for general knowledge or for individuals in specific roles, it is not typically a primary focus of safety training designed for everyday application by employees. This highlights that training often emphasizes practical safety measures over theoretical chemical understanding.
