:1. Product Label - Provided by manufacturer

:2. Material Safety Data Sheets - Provided by manufacturer

:3. Safety Policies, Rules & Regulations - MoDOT

:4. Traffic Control for Field Operations - MoDOT

MoDOT requirements for proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) can be found in the [http://lnapp1/RI/RIManual.NSF/SHToC?OpenView Safety Policies, Rules and Regulations Employee Handbook]. More PPE than the label or MoDOT requires can be worn. It is best to protect yourself to the fullest extent.

:1. Long sleeve shirt and pants (disposable chemical suit is best)

:2. Rubber boots

:3. Neoprene gloves designed for chemical handling

:4. Chemical goggles or face shield

:5. Respirator (unless not required by [http://wwwi/ri/msds_results.asp MSDS])

:6. Apron – Neoprene or rubber

'''B.''' Handgun Applications

'''C.''' Respirator is required when mixing/applying the following products:

Some 2,4-D formulations (Check label/MSDS before use. Check MSDS for any products used not listed above.)

'''D.''' Broadcast (spray bar or boom) Applications

:1. PPE such as gloves, goggles and respirators may be removed if the application is made from an enclosed cab of a truck or tractor.

:2. Keep PPE clean and accessible should you need to get out of the cab.

:3. PPE must be worn if applicator is not in an enclosed cab. [[821.14 Herbicide Spills Incident Reporting|Spills are addressed in 821.14]].
