Which statement is true regarding PPE requirements for pesticides?

PPE requirements are specified on the pesticide label, and that label is the official, legally binding guide for safe use. The PPE listed is chosen based on the product’s hazards, formulation, and how you apply it, so it clearly tells you exactly which items to wear, when to wear them, and what to avoid. This isn’t up to the worker’s whim—if the label says gloves, eye protection, or a respirator, you use them as directed. All labeled pesticides carry PPE instructions, including products used in households. Even for household products, follow the label’s PPE requirements rather than assuming none are needed. If the label calls for specific gloves, eye protection, or a respirator, use the exact equipment it specifies.
