Whilst I must applaud the intentions of a certain company (full issue of ppe including prescription safety glasses), I have to reiterate the folly of issuing such equipment only to fail miserably in the formulation of a professionally drafted risk assessment.As the field team operate in their full ppe regalia on a damp and windy day, the local farming landowner saw fit to spray his crops with insecticide/pesticides.About 10 percent of this noxious mix landed on the crop and the rest ran down my face.All day.Lip service is not good enough guys.......looking good is not enough either.....I drew this issue to the attention of the HS bod only to be reminded that I must keep my hard hat on at all times.......
