Pesticides: Code of practice for using plant protection products (PB11090)
|
|
This Statutory Code for professional users of plant protection products replaces and updates three previous codes of practice (green, orange and blue codes) including the code for using pesticides in amenity areas, which was previously a voluntary code. This version of the code applies to England and Wales. This code of practice has been prepared jointly by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Health and Safety Commission (HSC) and the National Assembly for Wales Environment, Planning and Countryside Department. NOTE: 13 April 2006: Paragraph 3.7.4 of the Code of Practice for using Plant Protection Products, which concerns public rights of way, contains incorrect information and should not be relied upon. PSD will shortly carry out a consultation on a proposed amendment to this paragraph. Defra, PB11090, January 2006.
