Goggles, eyewear, and gloves require hand washing.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (B)

Hand hygiene after handling pesticides and after removing PPE is essential to prevent exposure. Goggles, eyewear, and gloves can pick up pesticide residues during work, so washing your hands after taking these items off helps remove any remaining chemicals and reduces the chance of transferring residues to your face, eyes, or mouth. For gloves, remove them in a way that minimizes skin contact with the contaminated surface and then wash your hands. For eyewear, if it’s been exposed, wash your hands after handling it to avoid touching your eyes with any residue. This practice is part of the standard decontamination process and aligns with PPE care guidelines. The other options suggest it isn’t always required, but in real-world safety practice, hand washing after PPE use is consistently recommended.
