Book California Pesticide Applicators Attitudes and Practices Regarding the Use and Care of Protective Clothing

Download or read book California Pesticide Applicators Attitudes and Practices Regarding the Use and Care of Protective Clothing written by T. Chordas and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to (1) obtain data on attitudes and practices of California pesticide applicators and household members responsible for the care of pesticide-soiled clothing, (2) identify relationships between attitudes and practices, and (3) determine if any group might be especially at risk. A survey of growers and commercial applicators suggested that the growers were the higher-risk group; not only did they use more hazardous chemicals, but they also were less likely to agree with the need for certain precautions. In general, users of more toxic chemicals indicated they recognized that fact but appeared to downplay the potential danger. With respect to storage and cleaning of pesticide-soiled clothing, the data indicate that a sizable proportion of the sample stored and washed such clothing with other household garments. This finding is cause for some concern since health problems can develop from secondary exposure to pesticides.

Book Guidelines for personal protection when handling and applying pesticides

Download or read book Guidelines for personal protection when handling and applying pesticides written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines are intended to provide guidance on pesticide risk reduction through reduced exposure by effective personal protection with special attention to the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). First, they provide technical information on personal protection and on the selection and use of PPE. Second, in line with the FAO/WHO International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, they address policy issues and recommend measures to improve personal protection and specifically the use and availability of adequate quality and affordable PPE. They are primarily aimed at government authorities in charge of pesticide management and risk reduction, but are also considered useful to public and private sectors such as pesticide industry, non-governmental organisations (NGO) and other relevant entities. More specifically, these guidelines are targeted at stakeholders in low and middle income countries (LMICs) where it is acknowledged that there is limited legislation, compliance and enforcement, and PPE availability. These Guidelines were developed by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM) to provide guidance on provisions in the Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management that are related to personal protection of pesticide users. They are meant to enhance current national legislation and regulations on personal protection and personal protective equipment (PPE) or where there is none, to provide guidance. They reflect the FAO/WHO joint approach on pesticide management, thus addressing personal protection of both agricultural and public health operators/applicators, the latter being engaged in using insecticides for vector control.
