February 26, 2009 · Filed Under Health & Safety at Work  · Tags: , , ,

Taken from Introduction: This information sheet provides guidance to professional users of pesticides on suitable standards for storage. By following it, professional users will help to ensure that they meet their duties under relevant legislation. It contains advice on:

  • fixed stores, including purpose-built stores, converted existing buildings or parts of existing buildings and small-scale storage in cabinets, chests etc;
  • mobile stores providing short-term storage away from the home base in vehicles, on bowsers and sprayers etc;
  • storing small amounts of particular pesticides whose hazardous chemical properties require additional precautions to be taken.

It does not cover storing methyl bromide, storing pesticides by suppliers (which includes contractors who supply pesticides), nor transporting pesticides from suppliers to the end user. If you carry out any of these activities you should consult the DEFRA Code of Practice for suppliers of pesticides to agriculture, horticulture and forestry (the Yellow Code).

If you store flammable pesticides such as anti-fouling products, refer to HSE’s guidance booklet The storage of flammable liquids in containers.

For the purposes of this information sheet ‘professional user’ means anyone who uses pesticides as part of their business or undertaking, whether as an employer or self-employed person.
