When handling pesticides, how should unlined chemical resistant gloves be worn?

• A. Inside the sleeves
• B. Outside the sleeves and roll up the cuff
• C. With the cuff tucked in
• D. Inside the glove and rolled down the sleeve

Answer: (B)

When handling pesticides, you want a continuous barrier at the wrist to keep chemicals from getting under the glove and into skin. Wearing unlined chemical-resistant gloves outside the sleeves and rolling up the cuff creates a sealed edge at the wrist, so any spray or drips are stopped at the glove-sleeve junction rather than seeping into gaps. This setup minimizes skin exposure and keeps contamination contained. Wearing gloves inside the sleeve or tucking the cuff in can leave gaps where pesticides can reach the skin.
