^aMixer/loader. An open mixing and loading system with chemical-resistant coveralls over a single layer with chemical-resistant gloves and a suitable respirator. Groundboom applicator: a closed cab with chemical-resistant coveralls over a single layer (no gloves or respirators). Aerial applicator: a single layer (long-sleeved shirt and long trousers), no gloves or respirators.

^bM/L = mixer/loader; A = applicator; groundboom—farmer groundboom application.

^cMaximum listed label application rate in g AI ha⁻¹.

^dDermal exposure = (unit exposure × area treated × rate) 70 kg⁻¹.

^eBased on a dermal BMDL₁₀ of 65.0 mg kg⁻¹ = 6.7 mg kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ × 9.7 (relative rat/human dermal penetration factor) and a target MOE of 100.
