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.

General Cleaning Procedures:
The farmer and/or farm workers responsible for cleaning must adhere as much as
possible to the following procedures:
Be properly trained on the cleaning procedures
Develop a cleaning program and schedule according to the recommended
frequency and the cleaning program should be monitored to ensure its
effectiveness.
Cleaning must not take place while fresh vegetables are being harvested,
packed, handled and stored.
Water that is used for cleaning must be safe.
The cleaning of equipment, tools and containers must take place in a
designated area away from field and the storage of agricultural inputs and
fresh vegetables.
When using cleaning and disinfection chemicals, the farmer and/or farm
workers must become familiar with the instruction use of these products.
Strictly adhere to all precautionary statements and mixing instructions.
Protect equipment, tools, containers and fresh vegetables when working with
any chemicals.

and soil build up.
Rinse walls, windows and doors from the top downward
Rinse the entire floor surface to remove any soil build up. Be careful not to
splash water onto the equipment.
If necessary, scrub areas with brush and cleaning materials such as
detergent, and ensure that no spots are missed.
After scrubbing areas with cleaning materials, rinse surface areas as
described previously wash out drains; be careful of not splashing water onto
equipment.

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.
Safe Management of chemicals involves:
correct labeling and packaging;
provision of material safety data sheets (MSDS);
Safe transport, storage, use and disposal of substances.
Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals
Chemicals must be supplied in packages that are correctly labelled and
suitable for 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:
1. Signal words such as ‗CAUTION‘, ‗POISON‘or ‗DANGEROUS POISON‘, used for
scheduled poisons – a signal word alerts users to the possibility of poisoning if the
substance is swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
2. The Dangerous Goods (ADG) diamond if there is an immediate risk to health or
safety e.g. flammable liquids.
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 combustible material‘
Ensure that containers remain labelled
Farmers must ensure that the original labels remain on containers of
substances. If a substance is poured into a second container such as a spray tank
then that container must be 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 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 swallowing.
Insurance companies may question liability if something goes wrong and an
unlabeled 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.

Material Safety Data Sheets
Material safety data sheets (MSDS) must be produced by the manufacturer
or importer of 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 supplier and keep them in a register where they are available to
people who could be exposed to the hazardous substance.
The register is a collection of the MSDS and other information which can be
kept in a folder, filing cabinet or other practical system.
The register can be kept in the house, workplace or the chemical store, so
long as it remains accessible to emergency service personnel and any employees
who may be exposed to hazardous substances.
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.
Disposal of Farm Chemicals
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
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.
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
9
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 RA
9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and their implementing rules and
regulations.
