Which is an example of safety of workers in agriculture?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Using protective equipment during pesticide spraying

Direct answer: Option A, using protective equipment during pesticide spraying. Agricultural workers may face chemical exposure, splashes, harmful vapour and contact with contaminated hands or clothing. Protective equipment such as suitable gloves, a mask or respirator where appropriate, covered clothing, eye protection and proper footwear can reduce exposure when used according to the product label. Workers should also follow instructions, avoid eating while spraying and wash after work. Option A is correct because it is a clear preventive safety practice. Option B is wrong because bare hands can directly contact chemicals and increase poisoning or skin injury risk. Option C is wrong because working continuously in strong sun without rest can cause heat stress, dehydration and exhaustion. Option D is wrong because increasing a dose by guess can damage crops, contaminate soil and water, and harm workers and consumers; only the labelled or professionally advised dose should be used. The reasoning is: identify a hazard → use protection and instructions → reduce exposure. Memory cue: chemical work needs label, protective gear and hygiene.
