When mixing concentrates or highly toxic sprays, which PPE is recommended?

• A. No protection is required
• B. Gloves only
• C. A face shield or tight fitting goggles with antifog lenses and indirect venting
• D. A lightweight scarf

Answer: (C)

Eye and face protection is essential when mixing concentrates or highly toxic sprays because splashes or aerosols can reach the eyes easily. A face shield or tight-fitting goggles with antifog lenses and indirect venting provides a solid barrier against splashes while keeping visibility clear and reducing exposure to any fumes escaping through vents. Gloves alone protect the hands but don’t shield the eyes, and a lightweight scarf offers little to no chemical protection. So, the best protection for this task is eye/face protection as described.
