While spraying, it is recommended that the operator stays in the cabin for about 90-95% of the
time, so the chemical products cannot have influence on his or hers health. Should the operator
notice a change in the working of his or hers organs or feel sick, he or she should immediately
put on the protection breathing mask. However, the best thing to do is to leave the field and
look for shelter in a cleaner area.

PROTECTION OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
There are many different filter and protections masks available to
protect your respiratory system.
•
It is recommended to use masks that protect the whole face
and are fitted with combinations of different filters (filter
for gas-smoke). An even more efficient protection can be
achieved by means of a protection helmet in which
overpressure can be created.
•
Make sure that you are using an appropriate filter:
o
A (brown): used for most organic chemicals;
o
B (grey): used for most inorganic chemicals;
o
P (white): used only for liquid or powder chemicals;
o
Combination of a brown/white filter with the mark A2P2 in the European Union is be used
for most organic chemicals. The mark A2P2 refers to a combination of filters which provide
appropriate protection against most gases and vapours that are created by using liquid or
powder chemicals. A2 refers to protection class (2) which means that you can use the filter
until it reaches a concentration of 0.5 volume-percentages. P2 refers to gas protection class
(2).
o
The combination B (grey/white) filter must be used in the case of handling inorganic
chemicals.
o
Before using the mask check the tightness and sealing of it. Check the mask for damages
and make sure that the outer valve is clean and can be closed without any problems.
WARNING: To prevent inhaling and/or entering the chemicals through the
mouth it is recommended not to eat, drink or smoke while working!
