Where should you obtain specific PPE requirements and other safety details for handling pesticides?

• A. Local newspaper.
• B. The label and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• C. Manufacturer's marketing materials only.
• D. Experienced coworker without verifying.

Answer: (B)

The essential place to get precise PPE requirements and safety details for handling pesticides is the official product documentation: the label and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The label provides the specific, legally enforceable instructions for how to handle, mix, load, apply, and dispose of the product, including exactly which personal protective equipment to wear and any re-entry or drift precautions. The SDS offers deeper hazard information and practical safety guidance, such as recommended PPE, engineering controls, first aid, spill response, and storage details. Together, they are the authoritative sources you must consult before handling any pesticide. Local newspaper and marketing materials won’t give product-specific, legally binding PPE requirements or comprehensive safety guidance, and relying on a coworker’s advice without verification can lead to unsafe practices.
