Pesticide Risk Reduction: low risk list

Background
We undertook an analysis that classified pesticide active ingredients by the hazards and risks that they pose, and we identified a list of pesticides that do not require more than basic, single layer PPE (long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks and stout shoes, with chemically resistant gloves). This list is published along with others in:
 
How to use this table
We provide a step-by-step guide to using this and other tables. Please note that these lists provide guidance that is supplementary to the pesticide label. The label is intended to be the primary source of risk management information, and it indicates practices that are mandatory. The pesticide label may address other risks that need to be managed, or it may indicate a requirement to manage risks that our analysis did not consider. Also note our lists are internationally comprehensive, and contain pesticides that may not be registered in all countries. It is essential that you consider local regulatory, health, and research information that may factor in risks that our analysis has not considered, before developing a final list of pesticides that may meet your needs.
Table 3b: Low-Risk (Minimum List) Pesticide List 

Pesticides that do not meet the HHP, risk mitigation, or other of criteria of concern in Tables 1, 2 & 3a, but which require single layer, baseline, personal protective equipment (PPE): i.e. wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks and stout shoes, with chemically resistant gloves. Note: occupational exposure is unlikely for pheromones.

Consider every chemical on a case-by-case basis, and obtain local regulatory data, and research that addresses aspects of risk that this system does not take into account, including use of products for self harm.
