3.1.3.2.2
Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Purpose: The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ensures that workers handling chemicals are protected from exposure to harmful substances. Proper PPE use reduces the risk of chemical burns, inhalation, or contact with toxic materials, ensuring worker safety and regulatory compliance.
Poor Outcome:
Workers do not use proper PPE when handling chemicals, increasing their risk of exposure to harmful substances. This results in injuries, non-compliance with safety regulations, and potential legal consequences for the farm.
Expected Outcome:
Workers are provided with appropriate PPE and trained in its correct use, ensuring that they are protected from exposure to harmful chemicals. Safety regulations are followed, and the risk of injury is minimized.
Excellent Outcome:
The farm invests in high-quality, advanced PPE, and workers are fully trained in its use. Regular PPE inspections and replacements are conducted, resulting in a near-zero risk of exposure and injuries. The farm sets the standard for PPE use and chemical safety.
