21.01.2022 Have you seen the weather measure requirements 'sneaking' in on weed killers, Insecticide, and fungicide chemical labels? You might be surprised! Can you go back to your record and demonstrate that you have all the information required by the label, and for yourself, to see what went on on the day? You know that chemical labels are not just recommendations, there are legal obligations. So; what do you do if they ask for wind speed, direction, humidity, or even Delta-T? Did yo...u know that even some glyphosate products require you to measure some of these before, during and after spraying, at the site of the spray event. Smith & Georg has a portable, compact & accurate, weather meter that will give you the tool tool to make these readings for your spray diary. Visit us to find out more about those Glyphosate labels and the details and price of our weather meter. Drop in to our website here to find out more: http://www.smithandgeorg.com.au/?p=2620

10.01.2022 Smith & Georg again emphasises that Chemical Labels are ‘Requirements’ not ‘Recommendations’ incidents like this reported in the ABC late in 2017: That’s an example of a label for a Paraquat product, an S7, Dangerous poison; can’t be much clearer. Yet we see The near-fatal poisoning of a NSW Central Coast man with severe autism who drank a cocktail of highly toxic herbicides left in an unmarked drink bottle has sparked fresh calls for a nationwide ban on Paraquat. (Mary-Lou...ise Vince ABC 11/12/2017). The report went on to remind us: In 2015, a Queensland farmer died after the deadly herbicide accidentally sprayed into his mouth when he was filling a pressure back-pack pump spray. There appears to be no follow-up report on the findings of the 2017 incident yet and the NSW EPA advised the ABC that the investigation could take up to 3 years. But the message is clear, and one that Smith & Georg has been espousing in its Chemical Accreditation training for over 21 years: Read Chemical Labels Comply with the requirements of Chemical Labels Take heed of warnings on Chemical Labels Respect the general public, your fellow workers and yourself. NEVER, EVER, decant any chemical into any container that is, or can be confused with, a drink or food container. Safe Work Australia require that workplaces must: Ensure hazardous chemicals are correctly labelled in accordance with the model WHS Regulations, including where the chemical is stored in pipework, or transferred or decanted from the chemical’s original container at the workplace.
