LEARNER OUTCOMES
1. Identify the requirements for PPE.
2. Develop a hazard assessment program as
it pertains to PPE.
3. Evaluate a variety of PPE devices and
determine the types of equipment
necessary for their farm.

RESPIRATORY ISSUES
Pesticide vapors
Dusty fields
Hydrogen sulfide in manure pits
Nitrogen dioxide in silos.
Farmers Lung and Organic Dust
Toxicity Syndrome (ODTS)
Allergic reactions to dust from moldy
hay or grain
34
RESPIRATORY
ISSUES
Dust: largest of the particles
Molds: released from hay or grain when
disturbed
Mists: suspended liquid droplets
Fumes: solid particles of evaporated
metals (welding)
35
RESPIRATORY
ISSUES
Gases: gaseous at room temperature
hydrogen sulfide (manure pits),
nitrogen dioxide (Silo gas), carbon
monoxide
Vapors: evaporate from liquid
pesticides, paint
36
RESPIRATORY
ISSUES
Oxygen deficient atmosphere: manure
storage pits, sealed silos
Structures when oxygen level is below
21%
37
CATEGORIES OF
RESPIRATORS

Supplied air
The cartridge and respirator must be
made by the same manufacturer
38
AIR PURIFYING
Filters
