Which item on a treated-seed label informs handlers about protective clothing or equipment needed?

• A. Storage location.
• B. Hazard statements.
• C. Equipment calibration notes.
• D. PPE requirements.

Answer: (D)

On a treated-seed label, safety and handling information is provided to protect people working with the seed. The part that identifies exactly what protective clothing or equipment to use is the personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. This section tells you which items to wear or use—such as gloves, eye protection, respirators, or protective clothing—during handling, planting, or cleanup to minimize exposure to the treated seed. Other label sections describe hazards in general (hazard statements), or relate to storage or equipment maintenance, but they don’t specify the gear needed for personal protection. So the PPE requirements are the information that directly guides the protective gear you should wear.
