Safe Handling and Storage of Fertiliser

Good storage practices and vigilant record keeping are always important to ensure a safe workplace.  In addition, they will assure the quality of the purchased products and minimise the potential for any deterioration.  Guidance and regulation of handling, storing and delivery of fertiliser needs to be adhered to.  Now, more than ever, security of potentially dangerous products needs careful consideration and this Farming Note details guidance and regulation developed from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO), Agricultural Industries Confederation AIC, National Farmers Unions (NFU & NFUS) and DEFRA.
