FAO / WHO : Guidelines for personal protection when handling and applying pesticides [2020]
Description:
These guidelines are intended to provide guidance on pesticide risk reduction through reduced exposure by effective personal protection with special attention to the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). They are primarily aimed at government authorities in charge of pesticide management and risk reduction, but are also considered useful to public and private sectors such as pesticide industry, non-governmental organisations (NGO) and other relevant entities. More specifically, these guidelines are targeted at stakeholders in low and middle income countries (LMICs) where it is acknowledged that there is limited legislation, compliance and enforcement, and PPE availability.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
These tools will allow national authorities to organizing adequate training schemes to help deliver an Environmental Protection scheme.
