Seminar Description:
What you wear when handling pesticides matters.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is an essential way to protect yourself when handling pesticides. In this seminar we will look at the various kinds of personal protective equipment (PPE), their differences, appropriate uses, and requirements based on the pesticide label and California law.
Applying pesticides with appropriate PPE like gloves, a mask, etc. are important to keep you and your employees safe — unlike the applicator here.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the importance personal protective equipment (PPE) plays in your health and safety.
2. Determine what PPE is necessary to wear based on California law and the pesticide label.
3. Understand risk, exposure, and toxicity as they relate to pesticides and pesticide safety.
