Gain the essential skills to safely handle, store, and apply hazardous substances in agriculture while meeting New Zealand’s regulatory requirements.
Agricultural work often involves handling hazardous substances, such as agrichemicals, which can pose serious risks to human health, the environment, and livestock if not managed correctly.
This course is for people working in the primary sector who require understanding of, and are responsible for, the preparation and application of agrichemicals. We also cover the best practice guidelines for those who prepare and apply agrichemicals under supervision. This course follows the NZS 8409:2004 standard for the safe, effective, and responsible use of agrichemicals.
Students need to have 3 months of work experience in the industry prior to doing the course.
