Technique in storing chemicals:
Chemicals are used on farms for a variety of purposes. The safe management of
chemicals requires access to information and responsible action. Manufacturers, suppliers,
and users of farm chemicals all have an important role to play. Chemical substances present
different types of risks to people‘s health, safety, and the environment. For this reason, there
are different laws controlling them. The purpose of these laws is to ensure that chemicals are
used safely and efficiently so that risks to human health, the environment, and damage to
property are minimized.
2.0
Safe Management of chemicals involves:
 correct labelling and packaging;
ON
 provision of material safety data sheets (MSDS);
 safe transport, storage, use, and disposal of substances.
SI
Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals:
ER
Chemicals must be supplied in packages that are correctly labelled and suitable for
-V
the substance. Information provided on the label will depend on the type of substance and the
risks associated with it. Items to look for are:
 Signal words such as ‗CAUTION‘, ‗POISON‘ or ‗DANGEROUS POISON‘, used for
S
LE
scheduled poisons – a signal word alerts users to the possibility of poisoning if the
substance is swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin
DU
 The Dangerous Goods (ADG) diamond, if there is an immediate risk to health or safety
e.g. flammable liquids.
MO
 Risk phrases describing the type of health effects e.g. ‗irritating the skin‘, and safety
phrases stating precautions for safe handling, storage, spills, disposal, and fire e.g.
‗keep away from combustible material‘
ON
Ensure that containers remain labelled

I
AT
Farmers must ensure that the original labels remain on containers of substances. If a
R
substance is poured into a second container such as a spray tank then that container must be
NE
labelled with the product name and appropriate risk and safety phrases. These can generally
be copied from the parent container. Labelling is not necessary if a substance is used
GE
immediately and its container is thoroughly cleaned. There are good reasons for ensuring that
proper containers and appropriate labels are used, including:
 Using food containers to store poisons can result in poisoning due to accidental
T
1S
swallowing.
 Insurance companies may question liability if something goes wrong and an unlabelled
container has been the cause of an incident.
 Produce cannot be exported if maximum residue limits are exceeded labels provide
advice on permitted use and withholding periods for agricultural and veterinary
chemicals.
8
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Material Safety Data Sheets
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) must be produced by the manufacturer or importer
of a hazardous substance.
The MSDS is not just a piece of paper. It provides important and useful advice about
what is in the product, its health effects, safe use and handling, storage, disposal, first aid, and
emergency operation. Farmers must obtain the MSDS from their suppliers and keep them in
a register where they are available to people who could be exposed to the hazardous
substance.
2.0
The register is a collection of the MSDS and other information that can be kept in a
ON
folder, filing cabinet, or another practical system.
SI
The register can be kept in the house, workplace, or the chemical store, as long as
it remains accessible to emergency service personnel and any employees who may be
ER
exposed to hazardous substances.
-V
Storage and Transport of Chemicals
Safe storage of farm chemicals is needed to protect them from the elements, restrict
S
LE
access to them, prevent contamination of the environment, food, or livestock, and ensure
separation from other incompatible chemicals. Arrangements must be in place to contain any
DU
spillage of the chemical.

MO
After considering the potential risk to people‘s health or the environment, a farmer
might decide that a locked shed with a roof and concrete floor, which is bounded to contain
any spills, is the best way to provide safe storage.
ON
Remember, you should never store oxidizing agents with fuels. That is – never store
I
AT
substances labelled yellow diamond with a red diamond.

R
Safe transport of farm chemicals depends on what the substance is, how much there
NE
is, where it is to be transported, and what else is to be transported with it. In general, small
quantities (less than 250 litters) can be transported on the vehicle provided that the container
GE
is properly secured and safe from spillage.

T
Disposal of Farm Chemicals

1S
Empty farm chemical containers and unwanted chemicals need to be disposed of

properly. Prior to disposal of empty containers, wash the container out three times and use
the rinse water to dilute further batches of the chemical to working strength.
To wash a container you do not need to fill it each time. If you only have six litters of
water, it is more efficient to use three washes of two litters each, than it is to rinse once with
the full six litters.

General Farm Waste:
Storage
 Locate farm waste storage areas away from food handling, input storage, and livestock
housing areas to prevent cross-contamination and avoid attracting pests.
 Make sure farm waste storage areas and containers are adequate for the amount of
waste generated between disposal times.
 Clean farm waste storage areas often enough to avoid creating conditions that can
cause cross-contamination or attract pests.
2.0
 Where possible, use containers with lids for the storage of farm waste until removal.
ON
Disposal
SI
 Remove farm waste often enough and in a manner to prevent cross-contamination and
avoid attracting pests.
ER
 Dispose of all materials according to municipal by-laws and provincial regulations.
 If farm waste can be used by other sectors, store and ship them so as not to pose a
-V
food safety hazard. Unless properly sanitized, vehicles used for transporting farm
waste should not be used to transport food products and farm inputs. S

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS Presidential Decree (PD) 1152
The Philippine Environmental Code, ‖ which took effect in 1977, provides a basis for
an integrated waste management regulation starting from waste source to methods of
disposal. PD 1152 has further mandated specific guidelines to manage municipal wastes (solid
and liquid), sanitary landfill and incineration, and disposal sites in the Philippines. In 1990, the
Philippine Congress enacted the Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control
Act, commonly known as Republic Act (RA) 6969, a law designed to respond to increasing
problems associated with toxic chemicals and hazardous and nuclear wastes. RA 6969
mandates control and management of import, manufacture, process, distribution, use,
2.0
transport, treatment, and disposal of toxic substances and hazardous and nuclear wastes in
the country. The Act seeks to protect public health and the environment from unreasonable
ON
risks posed by these substances in the Philippines. Apart from the basic policy rules and
regulations of RA 6969, hazardous waste management must also comply with the
SI
requirements of other specific environmental laws, such as PD 984 (Pollution Control Law),
PD 1586 (Environmental Impact Assessment System Law), RA 8749 (Clean Air Act) and RA
ER
9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and their implementing rules and regulations.
