- Keep copies of SDS for all chemicals used and stored on your premises in a central location, not in the actual pesticide storage, along with an inventory of all hazardous materials. Create the inventory template included in the My Farm app;
- Clean and inspect equipment routinely for damage that could cause a leak including pumps, hoses and connections. Keep a record of inspections and repairs;
- If you must store pesticides, make sure it is in a separate, secured facility that is properly ventilated;
- Containers must be labelled with a signed age tag date and indicate the storage of pesticides;
- Check bulk fertilizer storage structures frequently for damage or leaks; and purchase only the amount of pesticide you need to reduce the amount stored on your property; and
- After using application equipment, ensure valves are closed, hoses empty, and pumps are turned off.
