Which of the following is NOT a step in preparing for an accidental spill of a pesticide?

Have bleach for decontamination
Have a change of clothes available
Store your food nearby
Keep soap and water close at hand

The correct answer is: Store your food nearby

In the context of pesticide spill preparation, storing food nearby would not be a prudent action. It is essential to minimize contamination risks and ensure safety. Having bleach available is relevant because it can be used for decontamination if required, while having a change of clothes ensures that you can replace contaminated clothing quickly to reduce exposure. Keeping soap and water on hand is crucial for immediate decontamination of skin or tools in case of a spill. In summary, the presence of food nearby poses unnecessary risks of contamination and exposure during a pesticide spill scenario, whereas the other options directly contribute to safety and preparedness.
