| Abstract |
This guidance note is intended to help farmers and other professional users (non-agricultural usage of timber and masonry treatment products and of public health insecticides) who are responsible for storing approved pesticides. It should not be used as guidance for the storage of fumigant gases in cylinders (eg. methylbromide, hydrogen cyanide etc.), which should be securely stored in the open air and for the storage of pesticides in circumstances where the quantity stored creates a fire hazard. Content: statutory requirements; criteria for pesticide storage; application of criteria to chests, bins, vaults and cabinets; application of criteria to buildings; other considerations (electrical installation, water sypply, records, first aid); associated facilities (including training of personnel using the pesticide store). |
