Description
A pesticide is a substance or organism that is used to eliminate, incapacitate, modify, inhibit growth, or repel pests. The agents can be natural or synthetic chemicals, mixtures of these chemicals, that work as biological control agents.
In Australia, toxic substances, including pesticides are classified as dangerous goods may also be classified as workplace hazardous substances.
We cannot stress enough, the importance of storing toxic chemicals correctly. These chemicals do pose a threat and may put your safety and the people working with these chemicals, as well as the environment, at risk.
It is important to store pesticides in a regulation compliant store, preferable isolated and secure and where in the event of spills or emergencies can be dealt with safely.
You have a responsibility when dealing with pesticides to ensure that your actions do not harm the environment, other people or their property, or yourself. Compliance with the relevant legislation should reduce the risk of harm occurring due to your actions.
Accordingly, all other laws related to pesticides obligate you to meet your legal obligations. Pesticides must be used responsibly by understanding and adhering to the laws governing their use. Pesticides must be stored, transported, applied and disposed of in accordance with all laws.
When it comes to safe storage, one significant aspect is the potential for human harm through exposure-accidental or intentional-especially when it comes to children. The proper storage of chemicals can also help prolong their shelf life and prevent accidents that may cause damage to property or the environment.
Agriculture and industry in Australia rely heavily on pesticides.
Pesticides are used by lawn care companies, parks, golf courses, and farms to keep unwanted pests under control and increase productivity.
Nevertheless, those using pesticides in their production processes must properly store them. Failure to store pesticides properly can cause serious harm to workers, the environment, and the neighbouring communities. Not to mention the risk of incurring serious fines for non-compliance.
If your business constantly works with pesticides or need to store them, use safety cabinets. But not just any cabinet, but ones that fully comply with regulations and in full compliance with AS4452-1997 – The storage and handling of toxic substances.
