MHS-steps an approach to Health & Safety Compliance

STEP 6 PESTICIDES

There are several things here which need to be done as explained in the Safety Policy under PESTICIDE USE:

1. Identify the individuals who will be carrying out the spraying and confirm their competence
2. Print out the SWP for HANDLING OF PESTICIDES
3. Print out the SWP for EQUIPMENT USED
4. Print out the COSHH ASSESSMENT for each pesticide used.

This information should be examined and discussed with those involved in any way in the application of pesticides.

Later, we will be considering the PPE and Equipment Assessments
