What is one of the main factors influencing PPE selection?

Product label information is a crucial factor in selecting personal protective equipment (PPE) because it contains specific instructions and recommendations from the manufacturer regarding safety precautions necessary for handling and applying the herbicide. Labels typically provide details on the types of PPE that should be worn, such as gloves, goggles, respirators, or protective clothing, based on the chemical properties of the herbicide and potential exposure risks. This ensures that applicators are adequately protected from potential hazards associated with the pesticide, thereby promoting safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Understanding and following the product label is essential for effective and safe pesticide application, making it the primary source for determining appropriate PPE.
