Lesson Chemical & Waste
8 Management and
Environmental Laws
Proper waste disposal is critical due to the fact that certain types of wastes
can be hazardous and can contaminate the environment if not handled
properly. Following them allows for toxic waste to be safely discarded
without the risk of environmental contamination.

3. 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 the combustible material’
Example:
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 swallowing.
• Insurance companies may question liability if something goes wrong and an
unlabeled container has been the cause of an accident.
• Produce cannot be exported if maximum residue limits are exceeded. Labels
provide advice on permitted use and withholding periods for agricultural and
veterinary chemicals.

Storage and transport of chemicals
Safe storage of farm chemicals is needed to protect them from the elements,
restrict 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 spillage of the chemical.
After considering the potential risk to people’s health or to 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.
Remember, you should never store oxidizing agents with fuels. That is –
never store substances labeled yellow diamond with a red diamond.
Safe transport of farm chemicals depends on what the substance is, how
much there is, where it is to be transported and what else is to be transported with
it. In general, small quantities (less than 250 liters) can be transported on vehicle
provided that the container is properly secured and safe from spillage.
To wash a container you do not need to fill it each time. If you only have six
liters of water, it is more efficient to use three washes of two liters each, than it is
to rinse once with the full six liters.
