Protective clothing when using pesticides Picture This

The worker is applying pesticides in a field without any personal protective equipment (PPE). He is wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and no gloves, goggles, or respiratory protection. This exposes him to serious health risks from inhaling toxic spray mist, absorbing chemicals through the skin, and getting pesticides in the eyes, especially since the spray is visibly drifting in his breathing zone.

When using pesticides, it is critical to wear the required PPE, which includes chemical-resistant gloves, long-sleeved clothing, long pants, closed-toe boots, eye protection (goggles or a face shield), and a properly rated respirator. Always read the pesticide label for specific PPE instructions, and apply pesticides only under suitable wind and weather conditions to minimize drift and exposure.
