In the "Sistema de Alerta" YouTube video, the importance of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in agricultural activities, specifically when handling toxic pesticides, is emphasized. The video features a peach farmer in Pelotas, Brazil, named Edemar, who shares his experience of using PPE in peach cultivation. In the past, farmers did not use any protective equipment and were exposed to highly toxic products, leading to intoxications and accidents. However, in the last 10 years, the use of PPE has become mandatory to prevent such incidents. The farmer stresses the importance of using PPE during the application of toxic isca, as failure to do so can lead to contamination and health risks. The PPE includes various items such as gloves, respirators, face shields, jackets, pants, Arabian hats, and boots. The equipment must be certified by the Ministry of Labor and made of water-repellent materials. The video also warns against using imitation PPE that may not meet the required standards. The farmer explains that the PPE protects the entire body, including the eyes and nose, from coming into contact with the toxic product. The speaker in the video also advises using reinforcement patches on the back of coveralls and disposing of worn-out coveralls. The coveralls should be washed separately, dried normally, and ironed at 180 degrees to restore their water-repellent properties. The use of PPE is essential to ensure the safety and health of farmers and prevent contamination that could affect future generations. The video also mentions the importance of monitoring pesticide application weekly and being protected at all times to ensure good harvests and maintain farmers' health for a longer period.

They suggest adding a reinforcement patch on the back of the coveralls and using an additional one when preparing hot sprays. The speaker also advises checking the condition of the coveralls and disposing of them if they show signs of wear or damage. The clothes should be washed separately with neutral or coconut soap, dried normally, and then ironed at 180 degrees to restore the fabric's water-repellent properties. The speaker mentions that the monitoring of pesticide application may be weekly, so farmers must always be protected to ensure good harvests and maintain their health for a longer time. The long-sleeved coveralls and the material itself provide more protection.
