| Abstract |
Safety rules TRGS 523, which came into effect in Germany in early 1996, provide a list of safe practices for the utilization of harmful pesticides. These rules concern the use of pesticides in health services, livestock rearing, crop protection, food and feed protection and the fumigation of buildings. The personal protective equipment needed for different types of pesticide applications such as spraying, atomizing and coating is outlined. Persons assigned for this kind of work must be properly trained. In Germany, only persons who passed an examination are allowed to carry out the job. |
