Safe Chemical Handling

You can reduce the risks associated with transporting hazardous chemicals by taking a few simple steps:

• Do not mix different chemicals
• Do not transport leaking containers
• Leaking containers should be replaced and new containers properly labelled if the contents are known
• Bring along any printed information that might belong to any unlabelled chemicals
• Do not transport animals or foodstuffs alongside any hazardous or poisonous chemicals
• Wear protective clothing including gloves, long pants, long sleeves, boots and glasses when moving or packing farm chemicals for the collection.
