This course aims to provide the knowledge and skills to effectively handle, apply, and store pesticides using mounted/trailer granular applicators. Pesticides are widely used in agriculture and horticulture, but they can be potentially harmful substances, so a thorough appreciation of safe working practices is vital.
This is a hands-on course that includes both theory and practical elements which supply sufficient training to comply with pesticide regulations.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
• Identify and describe how granular applicators work.
• Prepare and set up granular applicators.
• Choose and use the correct type of applicator for a given product and situation.
• Set and check the application rate for an application.
• Fill the applicator accurately and safely.
• Operate the applicator safely and efficiently.
• Decontaminate the machinery safely.
• Service the machinery.
• Select the correct PPE when using granules.
• Clean and store machinery correctly.
• Accurately record information.
Anyone with an interest or employment in agriculture, forestry, or horticulture who currently uses or wishes to use mounted/trailer granular applicators. Due to the nature of the training a minimum level of fitness will be required for specific operations. Whilst we would not want to disadvantage you as a learner, it is an essential requirement.
As a company that is committed to providing high quality
services to all our clients, we will always aim to make reasonable adjustments
ensuring all individuals receive the required help they need.
