To use pesticides (purchase, transport, loading, treatment planning, mixture
preparation, eld transfert, treatment performance, ending treatment liquid waste
management, equipement rinsing and waste disposal) you must follow the country
rules.
Absolutely respect the rules on the label of the product used referring to the dose for
hectar and to the compatibility of other products.
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 specic storage area
not be available;
— have a clean water supply readily available for washing, by means of a specic container or through
connection to the waterworks system;
— have the use of re extinguishers, should ammable 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 Specicequipment
The site at which the preparation and lling 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 lling;
— 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 specic equipment in order to avoid contamination by contact or inha-
lation during the whole operative phase of the intervention;
— the availability of proper equipment able to stop the uncontrolled spilling and owing of the mixture;
— a retaining valve on the feed pipe when the lling of the tank takes place directly from the waterworks
system.
3.5.3 Disposal of empty containers and agro-chemicals residues
Agro-chemicals are classied 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 specic norms. In order to perform this operation it is
necessary to obtain the relevant information from the Local O󰀩ces specically appointed to rule on

Rev.00 - Jan. 2013 11

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 Protective Equipment (PPE)
The use of phytosanitary products might imply a more or less high chemical risk for the workers on
the basis of the toxicity and the dangerous properties of the phytosanitary product, of the level and
duration of the exposure, of the absorption level through the respiratory tract, the skin, the mucosa
and the ingestive tract, as well as the way and frequency of the use.
The “personal protective equipment” (PPE) are equipment that all the users of the machine need to
wear and hold in order to be protected by one or more risks that are capable to treath the security or
healthy during the job.
Regarding the basic requirements, PPE have to:
