The label and the bull of pesticides contain informations about the suitable and secure usage of these compounds. The understanding of these materials is important to prevent and reduce occupational intoxications. This study deals with the diagnosis of the knowledge and understanding the basic information contained in the label of the packages by vegetable growers (mostly small) from Londrina, PR. A form was applied to growers registered at the Central de Abastecimento do Paraná (CEASA) at Londrina, about intoxications, individual protection equipment and comprehension of labels and bulls. Greater difficulties were the comprehension of the content (technical language) and the reduced size of the letters. The pictograms, color ranges and terms for the safe use of pesticides were not understood by most farmers. Inseticides were the most used and were responsible for most poisonings.
