About this ebook

These guidelines are intended to provide guidance for preventing the risk of pesticides by reducing exposure with use of effective personal protection, particularly personal protective equipment. The guidelines are designed primarily for use by government authorities in charge of pesticide management and risk reduction but may also be useful in sectors such as the pesticide industry, nongovernmental organizations and other relevant entities. These guidelines update and replace the 1990 FAO guidelines on personal protection when working with pesticides in tropical climates. In preparing and approving these guidelines, the members of the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management ensured that they are most applicable to stakeholders in low- and middle-income countries, while maintaining close harmonization with practices in other parts of the world.
