Which of the following is NOT listed as personal protective equipment in the example?

• A. Gloves
• B. Headgear
• C. Footwear
• D. Apron

Answer: (A)

The idea here is to recognize what items are shown as personal protective equipment for a given task. In the example, protection is shown for the head, the feet, and the body/clothing, but the hands aren’t covered in that list. Gloves are a common form of PPE to prevent skin contact with pesticides, but they aren’t included in that particular example, so they’re the item not listed. This doesn’t mean gloves are never PPE—it's just that the scenario in the example didn’t include them. The other items (headgear, footwear, and apron) are typical forms of PPE used to protect against splashes and contact with treated surfaces. Always check the product label or safety data sheet for the required PPE for a specific pesticide.
