When applying a pesticide labeled DANGER-POISON, what minimum PPE must typically be worn based on the signal word alone?
1
The PPE listed on the product label, which is legally required
✓ Correct Answer
2
A full hazmat suit is always required for all DANGER-labeled products
3
No PPE is needed if the product is diluted before application
4
Standard cotton work gloves and safety glasses are sufficient
Explanation
DANGER-POISON indicates Category I toxicity, the highest hazard level. Minimum PPE for highly toxic pesticides typically includes chemical-resistant gloves, protective eyewear, and a respirator as specified on the label. However, the specific PPE requirements are always determined by what is listed on the product label — the label is the law.
