Spray Safe This Season
You may be in the process of spraying your crops at the moment, but have you considered the potential health risks involved?
Whether you are in a dusty environment or spraying crops by hand or boom, it is always advisable to wear suitable personal protection equipment including breathing apparatus. Being in unprotected close contact with pesticides and dust has been associated with various lung diseases, asthma, burns and eye damage which can be irreparable.
Most people think that if you are in the relative safety of a tractor, they do not need to wear any PPE when using pesticides, but what happens when you are filling your sprayer or checking your equipment after spraying crops? If you haven't done so already, now is the time to consider purchasing some high quality breathing equipment such as Vapormatic's excellent range of Moldex personal protection equipment. The range, which includes masks and ear defenders, is fantastic quality and provides the very best protection currently on the market. The disposable and reusable dust masks meet FFP1 and FFP3 standards plus disposable and reusable half masks to P2 and P3 standards, Vapormatic can now cater for every need.
