Chemicals have 3 levels of "warnings". I apologize, I don't remember the warning level on glyphosate, but for ALL pesticides (herbicide, insecticide or other) you should wear protective clothing. Good rubber gloves, rubber boots, protective apron, eye wear, etc.
When tank spraying I always have some clean water to wash with if I spill on myself. I bought a protective apron off Ebay for less than $20. Comes down almost to my ankles (the advantage of a woman having to buy stuff designed to fit a man). I'll have James take a picture later this year when we start spraying.
For spot application, I generally mix at the house so any spill can easily be cleaned up there.

When you're done, be sure to wash everything off well, including the chemical containers, to make sure any drips or spills are cleaned off.
