Safety in applying chemicals
1
• READ the sprayer instructions manual.
For an efficient spraying operation, it is
necessary to know the sprayer employed
in detail. Only thus will we prevent wast-
ing chemical or improper use of the
equipment, and the desired result will
be achieved.
• USE the chemical products in agriculture only.
• READ and FOLLOW all instructions on the
chemicals manufacturer's label.
• HANDLE the chemicals following recom-
mendations of a technician.
• Proper SETTING of the sprayer is a simple
operation. Only with the sprayer properly
set will the best results be achieved.
• USE approved, recommended and suitable
protection equipment (PPEs). During han-
dling, setup of the mixture or spraying, use
all protection equipment recommended by
the chemical manufacturer.
• AFTER the spraying operation, take a
shower and change clothing. The used
clothing shall be immediately washed
and segregated from the regular use
clothing to eliminate the chemical resi-
due. In case of contact with chemicals,
wash the affected part with running wa-
ter for at least 15 minutes. Remember:
most contamination cases occur at the
time of setup of the mixture, where the
chemical is still concentrated, and gets in
contact with the hands.
• DO NOT enter with or keep inside the trac-
tor cab the personal protection equipment
(PPEs) used during handling or setup of the
mixture in order not to contaminate the
place. When inside the tractor cab during
operation of the machine and/or spraying
operation, use only an ear protector. If no-
ticing that contamination has occurred (if
feeling chemical smell) caused by careless-
ness in working with the door open or
