What must employers provide to employees who handle minimal exposure pesticides?

Employers are required to provide an area for employees who handle pesticides, even those with minimal exposure, to change clothes and wash at the end of the day. This requirement falls under the safety and health regulations that aim to minimize exposure to pesticide residues that may be harmful. The ability to change out of work clothes and wash helps ensure that any pesticide residues are not carried home, reducing potential exposure to family members and the general public.

Providing a designated area for changing and washing contributes to maintaining hygiene and health standards in the workplace. It plays an essential role in preventing long-term health effects associated with exposure to pesticides, which, even in minimal amounts, can accumulate and pose risks over time.

The other options, while relevant to employee safety and health, do not specifically address the immediate actions required for those handling minimal exposure pesticides as stipulated by regulations. Options such as storage for personal protective equipment, access to an onsite medical facility, or a schedule for health check-ups, while beneficial, do not meet the immediate requirement to ensure cleanliness and personal safety after handling pesticides.
