2.3 Safe handling of spraying agents

x
Avoid contaminating the environment, the mains
water supply and/or public sewer systems with
spraying agent or cleaner!
Ensure to avoid contamination when mixing,
filling, using, draining, cleaning, servicing and
transporting by using adequate procedures and
suitable containers.
x
Spraying agents and cleaners must never be
allowed to enter the mains water supply – not
even by back-suction when filling, public sewer
systems, sprayed onto wastelands, allowed to
drain into natural bodies of water or disposed of
together with normal domestic waste. This also
means that appropriate care must be taken
during filling to ensure that none of the spraying
agent is drawn back into water pipes. Spraying
agents and cleaners and any unused leftovers of
spraying agents and cleaners must always be
collected in a suitable container and disposed of
via approved facilities for household chemical
waste. Please contact your local authorities for
information about your nearest disposal facilities.
x
Avoid any direct contact with spraying agents.
In case of contact with health hazardous spray-
ing agents, immediately rinse the affected body
parts with plenty of clean water, immediately
change the clothing soaked with spraying agents
and immediately seek medical advice.
x
Never eat or drink when handling spraying
agents.
x
Stop working immediately if you start to feel
unwell while working, or if you become unusually
tired. Seek medical advice if the condition
persists.
x
Never allow children or anybody who is not
familiar with handling this type of spraying agent
to handle the spraying agent.
x
Clean the spraying agent tank and all other
spraying agent carrying parts whenever the
spraying agent is changed. To flush out any
residue from the pump and the hose, run the
backpack sprayer with clean water after cleaning
the spraying agent tank and before the next
spraying agent is filled in. This will prevent the
risk of any chemical reactions taking place
between the different substances.
x
Never spray in narrow or enclosed spaces –
spraying agents are toxic and there is a risk of
poisoning. Spraying equipment must for
example only be used in greenhouses if
adequate ventilation is provided. Signs must be
put up in greenhouses that have been treated.
Nobody should enter the greenhouse again until
it has been thoroughly ventilated.
x
When you have finished spraying, prepare the
device for storage according to section 6.6,
thoroughly wash your face and hands with soap,
take off your work clothing and ensure that it is
washed regularly.
Any unused spraying agent that is left over in the
device could cause corrosion and hence
damage the device. Special attention must be
paid to wearing parts like spray nozzles, filters
and seals.
2.4 Work clothing /
personal protection equipment (PPE)
Always wear suitable protective clothing in
accordance with the relevant regulations. The
clothing must protect all parts of your body against
contact with spraying agents and against objects
that are kicked up – i.e., protective gloves, face
protection (e.g., protective goggles), protective
footwear, body protection (e.g., rubber apron), if
required breathing protection.
x
Clothing should be appropriate – i.e., tight-fitting,
but not obstructive.
x
Wear protective shoes with good grip, preferably
safety shoes.
x
Wear protective gloves with non-slip
palms.
x
Wear face protection (e.g., safety goggles)
against the spraying agents.
x
Always wear a breathing mask when
working in dense and tall plants, in
greenhouses, in dips in the ground or in
trenches and when using dangerous
spraying agents.
x
Immediately change any clothing that becomes
soaked with the spraying agent.
x
Wash the work clothing regularly.
x
Never wear a scarf, tie, loose jewellery or other
items of clothing that could be caught in a bush
or on a branch.
