How do enclosed cabs function when applying pesticides?

Enclosed cabs serve as an important addition to personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying pesticides. The design of these cabs offers a barrier between the applicator and the environment, effectively reducing the exposure to pesticide drift and vapors. This means the operator is less likely to come into contact with the chemicals, which enhances safety during application.

While using enclosed cabs does minimize the need for some external safety measures, they do not eliminate the necessity for PPE altogether. Applicators are still required to wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, in addition to relying on the enclosed cab for further safety. The cab provides an essential layer of protection, complementing PPE and ensuring that operators can apply pesticides more safely and effectively.
