Chemicals and Dangerous Substances
There is hardly a farm In Australia where chemicals do not pose the risk of serious injury or damage. This book examines the whole range of farm chemical hazards, and explains how to minimise the risks in a straight-forward practical way.
Farm chemicals include pesticides, fuels, animal health products, lubricants and many others. Together they threaten out health ad security with
poisoning
fire

corrosion
pollution.
Rural Safety – Chemicals and Dangerous Substances is designed as a guide for students of agriculture as well as farm workers, owners and managers.
The topics it covers in detail include:
- legal provisions and safety standards
- labelling
- protective equipment
- how to cope when a crisis occurs
- storage
… and many others.
