PPE Built to Withstand
the Demands of the Field
Protect farmers, field workers, and agribusiness teams with rugged, weather-ready, and pesticide-safe PPE—designed for the diverse risks of agricultural operations across the U.S.
U.S. Agriculture & Farming Industry Overview
The agriculture sector remains one of the most essential and labor-intensive industries in the U.S., employing over 2.6 million people across crop production, livestock, agribusiness, and food harvesting. From large commercial farms to family-run operations, agricultural work involves long hours, varied environments, and direct exposure to chemicals, machinery, and the elements.
According to OSHA and CDC reports, farming consistently ranks among the top three most hazardous industries in terms of injury and fatality rates. Workers face risks from tractor rollovers, chemical exposure, animal handling, and heat-related illnesses, often while in remote locations far from emergency services.
The Critical Role of PPE in Agriculture Safety
In agricultural environments, PPE is not only about injury prevention—it’s also a defense against long-term illness caused by pesticides, dust, UV exposure, and repetitive stress. Gear must be durable, lightweight, easy to clean, and adaptable to extreme weather.
Risks commonly mitigated by PPE in agriculture:
-
Pesticide and herbicide exposure during spraying and handling
-
Respiratory risks from dust, grain, animal dander, and fertilizers
-
Noise exposure from equipment like combines and tractors
-
Cuts, scrapes, or crush injuries from tools or livestock
-
Sun and heat exposure during long outdoor shifts
