Early entry

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: • Coveralls • Protective eyewear • Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material • Shoes plus socks Eye Protection: To mitigate eye irritation concerns from post-application exposures, the Agency is requiring that for at least seven days following the application of Captan Gold XL: 1. At least one container designed specifically for flushing eyes must be available in operating condition at the WPS-required decontamination site for workers entering the area treated with Captan Gold XL, and 2. Workers must be informed orally, in a manner they can understand: a. That residues in the treated area may be highly irritating to their eyes; b. That they should take precautions, such as refraining from rubbing their eyes to keep the residues out of their eyes; c. That if they do get residues in their eyes, they should immediately flush their eyes with the eyeflush container that is located at the decontamination site; and d. On how to operate the eye-flush container. Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas. Double Notification: Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas.

For PF50 Respirators - Wear a minimum of a NIOSH-approved elastomeric full face particulate respirator with any N*, R or P filter. • For Airblast and Groundboom Application a PF50 respirator must be worn. Use either a full- or half- face elastomeric respirator, with appropriate cartridges, may be used to fulfill this requirement. • For Post-Harvest Fruit Dip Use of Captan on Apples, Cherries, and Pears: Workers mixing and loading must wear a PF50 respirator. Fruit packing workers who are sorting and packing apples, cherries or pears must wear a PF50 respirator. Use either a full-or half-face elastomeric respirator, with appropriate cartridges, may be used to fulfill this requirement.
