As an agricultural professional, you understand the importance of handling agricultural and veterinary (AgVet) chemicals safely.

These chemicals play a vital role in pest control, crop protection, and livestock management, but they also come with significant risks if not managed correctly.

Keeping your AgVet training up to date ensures compliance with industry standards, minimises risks, and promotes safety across your business and the environment. 

In recent years, regulatory requirements surrounding AgVet chemicals have evolved, and it's important to stay informed about the latest standards and best practices.

Training provides the knowledge needed to properly handle, store, and transport chemicals, while also covering safety protocols that protect not only workers but also the wider community and natural environment.

If you’re working in agriculture, your training should include safe handling procedures, understanding of chemical labelling and safety data sheets (SDS), knowledge of first aid measures in case of exposure, and an understanding of legal requirements.

Regularly refreshing your skills helps reinforce these safety practices and ensures that you remain compliant with evolving regulations.

Not only does current training help you meet legal obligations, but it also reduces the risk of accidents, chemical spills, and misuse.

Moreover, having up-to-date knowledge allows you to handle hazardous materials responsibly, ensuring your safety and that of those around you.

With that in mind, now is a good time to assess whether your AgVet training or certifications are current.
