An enclosed cab always provides enough protection from pesticide exposure to allow applicators to use less PPE than recommended on the label.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. Depends on weather
• D. False

Answer: (D)

An enclosed cab reduces exposure mainly by limiting inhalation and splash exposure, but it does not guarantee the level of protection required by the label. The PPE on the label is chosen for the product’s specific hazards and all potential routes of exposure, and exposure can still occur through gaps, contaminated surfaces, or during loading, mixing, refilling, or cleanup—even with the cab sealed. Weather or cab ventilation might affect comfort and fume concentration, but they don’t change the PPE obligations. So you must follow the label and wear the required PPE regardless of the enclosed cab.
