Personal protective equipment
(PPE) is an important
consideration when applying
agricultural chemicals, or when
entering a recently sprayed
field.
In addition to
the respirators shown below, OVS
sells a full range of Tyvek
coveralls, nitrile gloves (and
others) and goggles. To
determine what protective gear
may be required for a given
chemical, check
www.cdms.net
and look for the appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS). |

Motorized, Kasco
 OVS carries the K80S
series of Kasco spray helmets. These
offer excellent protection for workers
spraying agricultural chemicals,
including restricted use products.
The
K80S series has two primary
models:
K803-T9,
which operates from the 12V tractor
battery
K80S-T8,
which operates from a portable 6V
battery.
How do they work? Air is
pulled at over 6 cubic feet per minute
through organic vapor cartridges via an
electric motor. The purified air travels
through a flexible hose to the spray
helmet. The lightweight fiberglass
helmet (1.75 pounds) is polyurethane
coated for durability, and has ample
room for eyeglasses. It features an
adjustable headband, a
hinged visor, exhaust
vents and a washable collar with
drawstring. Replacement parts are
available.
