Press Release 9th December 2009 - New booklet aimed at amenity pesticide users reinforces duty of care
Wednesday, December 09, 2009
A practical new guide that aims to ensure pesticide users in the amenity sector understand their duty of care and the need for ‘best practice’ at all times has been launched by the Crop Protection Association (CPA).
‘Amenity – BEST PRACTICE: Using pesticides in the community’ is aimed at local authorities, utility companies, amenity managers and groundsmen at sports facilities and venues.
The handy A5-sized, 12 page booklet highlights the key role pesticides play in maintaining the quality of parks, golf-courses and sports pitches and ensuring the safety of railways and roads. It also provides information on pesticide safety and legislation, where and how they can be used and guidance on best practice.
