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.
You can shop on the internet for rubber gloves or buy them in the grocery store where the mops, etc. are located. Get the heavy ones. The lightweight (generally yellow) don't hold up. I generally buy in the grocery store because they fit my hands better.
Treat glyphosate and all chemicals with respect. They were designed to kill things and if you are careless, that can include you or others.
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.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
