Protective eyewear is required during mixing and loading when the label requires it. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only when the supervisor approves
• D. Only outdoors

Answer: (B)

Eye protection is required based on what the label says. If the pesticide label specifies protective eyewear for mixing and loading, you must wear it during those tasks. The label sets the mandatory safety rules, and mixing/loading are the times when eye exposure risk is highest, so the requirement to wear eye protection is tied to those label instructions. If the label doesn’t require eyewear for mixing and loading, you aren’t obligated by the label to wear it, though using eye protection can still be a good safety practice. The rule isn’t about outdoor vs. indoor settings or supervisor approval; it’s about what the label requires.
