Pesticide Worker Protection Standard; Glove Liners, and Chemical-Resistant Glove Requirements for Agricultural Pilots

الملخص

EPA is amending the 1992 Pesticide Worker Protection Standard to permit optional use of separable glove liners beneath chemical- resistant gloves. This amendment also makes optional the provision that agricultural pilots wear gloves when entering or leaving aircraft. All other provisions of the Worker Protection Standard are unaffected by this rule. EPA believes that these changes will reduce the cost of compliance and will increase regulatory flexibility without increasing potential risks.
