Safety in applying chemicals
•
letting contaminated materials coming in
(e.g.: PPEs), use immediately an approved
and suitable breathing mask and contact
Jacto’s Technical Assistance;
•
IF the manufacturer of the product to be
used recommends using a breather mask
during application, use it!
•
KEEP the sprayer in perfect condition:
Make sure that no leaks exist. If detect-
ed, eliminate the same! Leaks not only
represent chemical waste but also un-
even application and contamination of
the environment.
•
USE the appropriate nozzle: There is an ap-
propriate nozzle for each chemical to be
applied. Climate conditions will also influ-
ence nozzle selection. The mixture volume
varies from one chemical to another one.
The chemical manufacturer should be
consulted for the optimum nozzle option.
•
DO NOT clear nozzles, vales or tubing
with your mouth: Use protection gloves
for this operation. Any spraying equip-
ment contains chemical residue.
•
NEVER let sprayer parts contact your
mouth; this is the fastest means of con-
tamination. If need arises to clear the
nozzles, one may also employ a nylon
bristle brush (toothbrush).
•
DO NOT contaminate water sources: The
spraying mechanism refill shall be per-
formed at places designed for that purpose
or by means of appropriate refilling vehicles
(trucks, carts, etc.). Avoid capturing water
from sources such as rivers, lakes, dams,
creeks, etc. with the aid of the sprayer re-
turn system. PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT!
•
DO NOT eat, drink or smoke: when han-
dling the mixture or during application
of the chemical, keep foodstuff far away
from the treated areas.
