Never be around chemicals while wearing short pants or sandals. It is against federal regulations for youth under the age of 16 to work with any pesticide that has a DANGER or WARNING label, but it is okay to work with chemicals that have a CAUTION label.
Some chemicals with a CAUTION label can hurt you if there is too much contact with your skin or your eyes. To protect against this, wear long sleeves, chemical resistant gloves, chemical safety goggles, a hat, and a respirator if you need it.
