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

Frequently
Asked Questions About PPE for Agriculture & Farming

What PPE is required when applying pesticides or herbicides?
Per EPA’s Worker Protection Standard, pesticide handlers must wear chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves, eye protection, respirators, and coveralls or aprons—all of which we supply in compliance-ready bundles.
Do you carry PPE that meets the EPA Worker Protection Standard (WPS)?
Yes. Our PPE lineup includes WPS-compliant suits, gloves, goggles, and respirators approved for handling restricted-use pesticides and field re-entry tasks.
What’s the best PPE for working in extreme heat during the summer season?
We offer moisture-wicking shirts, vented hats, cooling vests, and lightweight, breathable gloves—ideal for working under intense sun and high humidity.
Do you offer dust masks and respirators for grain, fertilizer, or barn dust?
Absolutely. We carry NIOSH-approved N95 and P100 masks along with replaceable-filter respirators suitable for handling feed, compost, fertilizers, and dusty harvest zones.
What PPE helps with livestock handling or animal care?
We supply puncture-resistant gloves, leather aprons, impact-resistant boots, and face shields—perfect for veterinarians, dairy hands, and livestock transporters.
Are your gloves and boots resistant to fertilizers and agricultural chemicals?
Yes. Our chemical-resistant gloves and boots are rated for ammonia, urea, glyphosate, and other common agricultural compounds.
Can we order PPE in bulk for farmhands or migrant workers?
Yes. We offer bulk ordering, bilingual user guides, and starter kits with sizing for male and female workers across seasonal workforces.
Do you offer UV protection gear for outdoor tasks?
Yes. Our UPF-rated sun sleeves, wide-brim hats, and UV-blocking glasses help protect workers during long daylight exposure.
What are the best options for cold or early-morning harvesting conditions?
We carry thermal-insulated gear, waterproof jackets, fleece-lined gloves, and weatherproof boots for year-round agricultural operations.
Can you help us stay compliant with both federal and state ag safety regulations?
Yes. We assist in developing PPE programs aligned with federal OSHA, EPA WPS, and state-level ag department requirements, including DPR standards in California.
