Safety & PPE

A pesticide label states that handlers must wear an organic-vapor (OV) chemical-cartridge respirator during mixing and loading. To comply, the applicator must wear:

• Whatever NIOSH-approved respirator happens to be on hand, since any approved unit is acceptable
• A pleated paper nuisance-dust mask, because it covers the nose and mouth
• The specific NIOSH-approved type the label names — an organic-vapor chemical-cartridge respirator ✓
• No respiratory protection, provided the work is done outdoors in open air
