What is It

Cleaning, Storing and Waste Management

Protect Tools from the Elements
Blades such as electric hedge trimmer blades, hoe, shovel, and other metal
surfaces can be sprayed with lubricant oil. Spray the blades then turn them on to
make sure oil works into all areas. All electrical and petrol gardening equipment need
to be covered over with a blanket or sheet if kept in the shed. This will prevent dust
and dirt getting to them.

Cleaning equipment, tools and garbage cans:

The farmer and/or farm workers responsible for cleaning the equipment (e.g.
tables, racks, plastic sheet, etc.), tools (e.g. secateurs, knifes, brushes, etc.) and

cleaning procedures.
 When possible place in the full sun for rapid drying.
 Store equipment and tools properly to avoid contamination.

Cleaning areas for handling and storing fresh produce:

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
 Presidential Decree (PD) 1152, ―the Philippine Environmental Code,‖ which
took effect in 1977, 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, 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 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 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
