Choosing the Right Farm Clothing & PPE

The best farm clothing and personal protective equipment depends on the job, working environment and hazards involved. Rather than choosing PPE simply because it is designed for agricultural use, consider the protection required, how long it will be worn and whether different items of PPE need to be used together.

• Farm wellington boots need reliable grip for wet, muddy and uneven ground. For higher-risk tasks, consider whether additional toe, underfoot or other safety protection is required.
• Waterproof Clothing helps keep you comfortable during prolonged outdoor jobs. Breathability and freedom of movement are particularly important when clothing is worn for physically demanding work.
• Farm gloves should be matched to the task. Consider grip, dexterity, abrasion resistance and protection from moisture when handling livestock, fencing materials, tools or equipment.
• Veterinary gloves provide hygienic hand and arm coverage for appropriate livestock procedures. Choose the correct glove length, material and level of dexterity for the intended task.
• Gas, dust and vapour masks and filters should be selected for the specific respiratory hazard. A filter designed for airborne particles does not automatically provide protection against gases or vapours.
• Ear & eye protection can help protect against hazards including prolonged machinery noise, flying debris, dust and splashes. Fit and comfort are important where PPE needs to be worn for extended periods.

Technical Specifications and Care

Effective agricultural PPE must provide the correct protection for the identified hazard while fitting properly and remaining compatible with other equipment being worn. Respiratory protection requires particular care. Disposable particulate respirators are commonly classified as FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3, while protection against gases and vapours requires an appropriate filter. Always follow the manufacturer's specifications and relevant workplace risk assessment when selecting PPE.

Farm clothing and reusable PPE should also be checked regularly for wear, damage and contamination. Clean muddy footwear before storage, follow garment washing instructions to help maintain waterproof performance and inspect reusable respiratory equipment, filters and seals as recommended by the manufacturer.

Pro tip: Never leave masks or reusable respirators exposed on a tractor dashboard, workshop bench or inside a dusty agricultural building. Store respiratory equipment somewhere clean and dry to reduce the risk of contamination before its next use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Farm PPE should be selected according to the task and identified hazards. Depending on the work, this can include safety footwear, protective gloves, waterproof clothing, eye protection, hearing protection and appropriate respiratory protective equipment.

What type of mask should you use for farm dust?

The correct respiratory protection depends on the type and level of exposure. FFP-rated respirators provide different levels of particulate protection, but particulate masks do not protect against harmful gases or vapours. Always check the manufacturer's specification before use.

How should farm clothing and PPE be stored?

Keep clean farm clothing and PPE somewhere dry and protected from contamination. Respirators and masks should not be left exposed in dusty agricultural buildings. Inspect reusable equipment regularly and replace damaged, excessively worn or disposable PPE as required.
