- It is forbidden to perform welding operations if ammonium salts were previously
used.
- It is forbidden to use the machine within a potentially explosive environment.
-The application of paints and/or solvents, the washing of closed environments
and machinery as well as the utilisation of the air flow for purposes other than
those expressly concerning the spraying of agro-chemicals is not permitted.
- It is forbidden to enter the tank.
3.4 - SAFETY SYSTEMS
All machine moving parts are suitably protected by guards and highlighted through the use of warning
decals.
- It is forbidden to use the machine with these guards removed.

3.5 - HANDLING OF AGRO-CHEMICALS
The operator could become contaminated due to accidental spray, contact or inhalation of products
or crop-spraying mixtures.
The environment could become polluted by mixture over-spills, puncturing of containers, uncon-
trolled storage of used and unwashed containers or spillage into waterworks.
In order to avoid these risks the preparation and filling operations must be carried out in suitably
appointed and adequately equipped sites.
3.5.1 - Storage
Fixed / stationary: the site used must be well ventilated and secured by lockable doors in order to
prevent even accidental access by children or unauthorised persons.
Mobile: the carrier equipment must be properly locked and kept under conditions whereby access
by children or unauthorised persons can be prevented during the absence of the operator. All full or
partially utilised containers must be secured against tipping, falling or breakage during transportation.
Both types of storage must:
— have a suitable container for the storing of empty packaging materials should a specific storage
area not be available;
— have a clean water supply readily available for washing, by means of a specific container or
through connection to the waterworks system;
— have the use of fire extinguishers, should flammable products and substances be stored.
- All packages, whether whole or partially utilised, must be stored in their original
packing and with the warning instructions clearly displayed and legible.
- The storage indications must always be scrupulously adhered to, as well as their
utilisation and possible disposal as suggested on the product’s original
packaging.
3.5.2 - Specific equipment
The site at which the preparation and filling out will take place must provide for:
— all the equipment necessary to the precise measuring of both the water quantity and the dose of
product to be mixed in the tank at every filling;
— all the equipment and means useful to the preparation of the mixture and for the cleaning of the
operator in case of contamination;
— all tools necessary to facilitate the direct introduction of the agro-chemicals in the tank;
— the allocation of clothing and specific equipment in order to avoid contamination by contact or
inhalation during the whole operative phase of the intervention;
— theavailability of proper equipment able to stopthe uncontrolled spilling and flowing of themixture;
— a retaining valve on the feed pipe when the filling of the tank takes place directly from the
waterworks system.

3.5.3 - Disposal of empty containers and agro-chemicals residues
Agro-chemicals are classified as “special” waste and their disposal must take place separately from
“urban” wastes.
Empty packaging and contaminated containers to be done away with cannot be
dispersed, burned or buried.
The washing water for the cisterns and the tools utilised for the preparation of
mixtures cannot be emptied on the ground, spilled into the sewage system or in
waterways and rivers.
The disposal of special wastes is regulated by specific norms. In order to perform this operation it is
necessary to obtain the relevant information from the Local Offices specifically appointed to rule on
this subject. The non compliance with these regulations can cause considerable damage to persons
and animals as well as polluting the environment.
3.5.4 - Personal means of protection
The toxicity of agro-chemicals forces persons working with them to wear adequate protective clothing
and accessories in order to avoid risks of contamination by contact or inhalation.
In each of the following work stages:
— filling of tanks and adding of the agro-chemical,
— dusting and spraying,
— adjusting of the sprayer,
— emptying and cleaning of the tank,
— replacement of the agro-chemical,
— maintenance interventions,
it is necessary to wear personal protection cloth-
ing and accessories.
The following must be worn:
— Polyethylene or polyvinyl gloves.
— Full, waterproof cotton overalls, in order to
guarantee transpiration, fitted with polypro-
pylene side flaps.
In commerce, one-time ‘tyvek’ overalls are
available which, after use (see picture), must
be disposed of according to the modalities
applicable to toxic waste.
— A protective half-mask in polychloroprene
rubber with 1 or 2 filters. Filters for gases and organic fumes, of European A1-class vapours, are
envisaged and these can be combined with anti-dust models of P1 European class, for harmful
mists and powders, or P2, for harmful and toxic mists and powders.
The filters must be replaced:
- when the smell/taste of agro-chemicals can be detected, and that of active A1-
class carbons;
