INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, you will select and check suitable Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) prior to use according to job requirements . Many farm injuries
could be prevented or their impacts reduced if farmers wore proper PPE.
PPE refers to any specialized equipment or clothing worn by farmers
for protection against health and safety hazards. They are designed to protect
many parts of the body; eyes, head, face, hands, feet, ears, or torso. They do
not prevent accidents, but they prevent or reduce injury and even fatalities
when used.

SUPPORT AGRONOMIC CROP WORK:
Select and Check Suitable Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) Prior to
Use According to Job Requirement
Personal Protective Equipment, more commonly referred to as PPE, is
required for many farm tasks like in agronomic crop work. PPE not only helps
protect people but also improves productivity. Farmers can benefit from using
the appropriate PPE for themselves, family members, and workers when the
job and its potential hazards call for it. PPE must be carefully selected. Test fit
the PPE to be sure of a proper and comfortable fit. If it isn’t comfortable
because it’s too hot or to tight, it won’t be worn. If it isn’t worn , it won’t
protect. Other excuses for not wearing proper PPE is because it looks
unattractive or it’s not easily accessible. PPE is critically important as it is
generally only used where other measures are insufficient and as such it
plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing many occupational fatalities,
injuries and diseases.
PPE does not include the following:
a. Ordinary working clothes or uniforms not designed to provide for the
health or safety of workers;
b. Clothing provided for food hygiene purposes;
c. Equipment used for protection while travelling on a public road (i.e.
motorcycle or bicycle helmets);
d. Equipment used during competitive sport competitions (but other
protective equipment used by sports instructors would be included e.g.
life jacket worn by canoe instructor);
e. An offensive weapon used as self-defence or as deterrent equipment.
For example, truncheons or CS gas canisters as used by the police or
military (but helmets, body armour and other PPE used to protect staff
from physical violence, is included);
f. Portable devices for detecting and signalling risks and nuisances, such
as badges for detecting radiation, or personal gas detectors.
Most PPE is provided on a personal basis. Sharing PPE is not advised.
The protective capabilities of single use PPE cannot be assured when it is
reused by the same person or used by more than one person. Sharing PPE
that is intended for single use may expose another person to infectious
materials. But when shared, be sure that such equipment is properly cleaned
and, where required, decontaminated to ensure there are no health risks to
the next person using it.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 1: Wear My Mask!

Even before COVID-19 pandemic, it is a must for farmers to wear a face


mask in going to work because farming is filled with respiratory hazards: pesticide
vapors, dusty fields, Carbon monoxide (gas-powered vehicles or machinery exhaust)
and many others.
Directions:
Arrange the following steps of wearing a mask in chronological order. Number the
sentence from number 1-5 on the space provided.
___________ Pick up your mask by its ear loops.
___________ Make sure to adjust where needed.
___________ Secure the mask around the bridge of your nose.
___________ Be sure that it covers your nose and your mouth.
___________ Adjust the fit of the mask to ensure your chin is covered.

ACTIVITY 2: Put it On!


Are the medical and fabric masks enough to wear when you carry out
the mixing and application of the pesticides by spraying? If not, what are the
other Personal Protective Equipment do you need when you spray fertilizers
in your rice field?
Directions:
Enumerate the PPEs you need. Write the answers below.
1. 5.

ABSTRACTION
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is equipment that will protect
the user against health or safety risks at work. It can include items such as
safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear
and safety harnesses. PPE is important to make workplace safe includes
providing instructions, procedures, training and supervision to encourage
people to work safely and responsibly. Before each use, inspect your PPE to
ensure that it’s in good condition and functioning properly. Wear PPE at all
times. It’s not a valid reason to not wear PPE even if you’re doing a quick job.
Don’t wait for someone to tell you to wear protection. It’s YOUR responsibility
to protect yourself by wearing PPE because accidents happen anytime and
anywhere.
The following are some common Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
used in farm operations especially in mixing and spraying pesticides in your
rice field. Pesticides are toxic chemicals that should be handled, mixed,
applied and stored in a manner that minimizes the risk to all people and the
environment. The person who carries out the mixing and application of
pesticides is at most risk because of the proximity to the pesticide.  The use of
appropriate protective equipment, knowledge of entry points of the chemical
to the body and good safety habits reduce the chances of personal
contamination and poisoning.

Gonzalo Bearman, M.D., a hospital epidemiologist at VCU Health and
the chair of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Virginia Commonwealth
University, says always wash your hands before handling any mask and this
is the correct step-by-step process for wearing a medical mask or homemade
cloth mask.
1. Pick up your mask by its ear loops. Bring the loops of the mask up to
your ears, securing them as tightly as possible
2. Be sure that it covers your nose and your mouth.
3. Adjust the fit of the mask to ensure your chin is covered.
4. Secure the mask around the bridge of your nose.
5. Make sure to adjust where needed.
Surgical masks cannot filter out all bacteria, unlike N95 masks used by
healthcare professionals, so you shouldn't worry too much about gaps
between your face and the mask. "You just want to make sure it best fits your
face and has the least amount of gaps for air to filter through as possible," Dr.
Bearman explains.
With rates of all types of skin cancers soaring, the time has come to
include a basic sunscreen and sunglasses as PPE, and include sun safety
education in the construction industry’s basic safety programs.
Some states have crafted laws that address just this issue. In New
York the law is called the "Sun Safety Law,” which deals more with the danger
inherent in the sun itself and less with the effects of summer heat.
In selecting and checking suitable Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) before use according to job requirement, consider the following:
a. Make sure you are wearing the right PPE for the job.
b. Inspect PPE before and after each use.
c. Take care of PPE at all times.

To maintain the PPE, do the following:


a. Clean all PPE after use.
b. Repair or replace damaged or broken PPE.
c. Store PPE in clean dry air - free from exposure to sunlight or
contaminants.

Sunscreen, while not typically classified as PPE, provides protection against UV radiation, preventing sunburn and longer-term skin damage . Gloves and long-sleeved clothing protect against direct chemical exposure when handling pesticides, while goggles and respirators protect the eyes and respiratory system from chemical sprays and dust . Each type of PPE plays a specific role in mitigating different aspects of environmental hazards, allowing agricultural workers to operate safely in adverse conditions .

Agricultural workers have the responsibility to wear PPE as required by job tasks and ensure it is used correctly to maintain personal safety . Employers are responsible for providing appropriate PPE, ensuring its proper maintenance, and training workers on its correct use and the importance of regular inspections . They must also ensure that PPE fits well and is comfortable to encourage compliance and maximize protection . These combined responsibilities ensure an effective safety protocol on farms .

For protecting against respiratory hazards in agriculture, respirators are necessary as they filter harmful particles and fumes such as pesticide vapors from the air . Face masks may offer some protection but are typically insufficient for managing potent chemicals used in agronomic tasks . Furthermore, using PPE like face shields or goggles in conjunction with respirators can provide comprehensive protection of the face and eyes while also ensuring breathable air .

Improperly fitted PPE reduces its effectiveness by creating gaps through which hazards like dust or chemicals can penetrate, thereby not providing the intended level of protection . Discomfort from improperly fitted PPE can lead to workers not wearing it consistently, which increases vulnerability to potential injuries . If PPE is not worn correctly, it offers little or no protection, particularly in activities like mixing and applying pesticides where adequate protection is crucial .

Sharing PPE among agricultural workers can lead to the spread of infectious materials, reducing its protective capability, especially for single-use equipment . These risks can be mitigated by ensuring that PPE is not shared, or if sharing is unavoidable, by thoroughly cleaning and decontaminating the equipment between uses . Proper education on the risks and ensuring availability of sufficient PPE supplies can further mitigate these health risks .

The selection and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in agronomic crop work is crucial as it protects individuals against health and safety risks, thereby preventing potential injuries and fatalities . PPE contributes to productivity by ensuring that workers are safe from hazards such as pesticide vapors and dusty environments, enabling them to perform their tasks more efficiently and with less downtime due to accidents . Proper selection, use, and fitting of PPE prevent discomfort and ensure continued use, further enhancing safety and productivity .

Ordinary working clothes are not considered as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) because they are not specifically designed to protect against health or safety hazards encountered in agricultural settings . PPE is specialized equipment or clothing, such as gloves, masks, or goggles, that offer protection against hazards that ordinary clothes cannot mitigate .

The use of PPE in agriculture is a proactive measure for worker health because it prevents accidents and illnesses, ensuring a healthier workforce which is essential for maintaining productivity . From a financial perspective, it saves farm operations from potential medical costs and compensation related to workplace accidents; investing in PPE can be less costly than dealing with the aftermath of workplace injuries . Additionally, consistent use of PPE can reduce insurance premiums and support compliance with health and safety regulations, further enhancing financial savings .

It is critical for PPE to fit properly because ill-fitting equipment can create exposure gaps, reducing its protective effectiveness . Misfit PPE can also cause discomfort, leading to non-compliance among workers who might choose not to wear it, thereby increasing their risk of injury . In an agricultural setting, this can result in direct exposure to chemicals and physical hazards, potentially causing serious health issues or accidents .

Regular PPE inspection is essential to maintaining safety standards in agriculture because it ensures that equipment remains in good condition and functions properly to provide the expected protection . Inspections should be carried out before each use to identify any damage or wear that could compromise safety, thus preventing injuries from faulty gear . Without regular inspections, PPE may fail unexpectedly, leading to accidents or health risks for workers .
