How should you wear your sleeves when applying pesticides to the ground?

When applying pesticides to the ground, the correct practice is to wear your sleeves outside of the gloves. This method helps to create a barrier that minimizes the risk of pesticide chemicals moving up into your sleeves or onto your skin. By keeping your sleeves outside the gloves, any potential drips or spills from your hands are directed away from bare skin, thus reducing exposure.

In contrast, wearing sleeves inside gloves could lead to pesticide residue collecting in the sleeves, which may then transfer to your skin when you adjust or remove the gloves. Having cuffs over gloves is less effective as it can still allow pesticides to seep into the gap between gloves and sleeves. Wearing sleeves around your wrists does not offer any protection since it leaves potential gaps for exposure. Therefore, wearing sleeves outside the gloves is the best practice to ensure safety during pesticide application.
