Herbicide Safety Tips
Before you begin to use your herbicide sprayer.
Make sure you take the time to read the safety instruction that comes with your chemicals before you start using them. There are many online safety videos on how to handle chemicals correctly and safely.
Handling chemicals correctly is important to human health as well as health of the environment. This short video by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board outlines how to handle herbicides safely, choosing personal protective equipment and storage and disposal of herbicides and containers.
