Sleeve guards protect arms. Reserve one or two sets of clothing for pesticide tasks. Aprons Aprons offer protection from spills and splashes of concentrates during mixing and loading. Aprons are always worn over regular work clothes or coveralls. Bibbed aprons are designed to cover the area from the knees to the chest.
Some styles come with attached sleeves or separate sleeves for arm protection.
Other aprons split below the waist to tie around the legs. Disposable apron materials are similar to coverall materials. Footwear Unlined, chemical-resistant footwear is essential for moderately and highly toxic pesticides and is a sensible practice for all pesticide use. Common boot materials are PVC, natural rubber, latex, neoprene, butyl, and nitrile. Protective Eyewear Always wear eye protection when the pesticide label requires it.
