(1)Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in addition to the following personal protective equipment:

Operators must wear suitable protective gloves when handling the concentrate or handling contaminated surfaces.

(1)Since there is a risk to aquatic life from use, users not applying the statutory buffer zone must either themselves carry out or ensure that someone else has carried out a Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) on their behalf before each spraying operation from a horizontal boom sprayer. Users must not allow direct spray from such sprayers to fall within 5m of the top of the bank of any static or flowing waterbody or within 1m of a ditch which is dry at the time of application (these distances to be measured as set out in the booklet ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides - Horizontal Boom Sprayers’ and any amendments that are made to it) unless:

The LERAP indicates that a narrower buffer zone will be sufficient; and

Any measures indicated by the LERAP as justifying the narrower buffer zone are complied with in full and in accordance with any conditions applicable to them.

Spray must be aimed away from water.

Spray from hand-held sprayers must not be allowed to fall within 1 m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing waterbody.  Spray must be aimed away from water.

(2)The results of the LERAP must be recorded in written form and must be available for a period of three years for inspection to any person entitled to exercise enforcement powers under or in connection with the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2011 or the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012.  (An electronic record will satisfy the requirement for a written record, providing it is similarly available for inspection and can be copied).

(3)Detailed guidance on LERAPs and how to conduct a LERAP are contained in the booklet ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides - Horizontal Boom Sprayers’, available from HSE Chemicals Regulation Directorate’s website.  All LERAPs must be carried out in accordance with this Guidance and any amendments that are made to it.

 

(1)This product qualifies for inclusion within the Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) scheme. Before each spraying operation from a horizontal boom sprayer, either a LERAP must be carried out in accordance with the ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides Horizontal Boom Sprayers’ booklet available from the HSE Chemicals Regulation Directorate’s website or the statutory buffer zone must be maintained. The results of the LERAP must be recorded and kept available for three years.
