The operator must wear eye protection not only against

pollen.

goggles.
Eye protection should also be worn by persons in the
risk zone which extends beyond the danger zone.

HEARING AND EAR PROTECTION
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment
or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or
uncomfortable loud noises.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

have no strings, frills or dangling straps which could

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep clothing buttoned or
zipped up and shirt tails tucked in. Secure hair so it is
above shoulder length.
The wearing of gloves offers some protection against
