Safety first
Safety measures are particularly challenging in the warm, dry and sometimes humid conditions of the Mediterranean countries. It is also in this area where most fresh food is produced in Europe. These were the two decisive factors for the industry to launch an initiative destined to improve once and for all the safety conditions of millions of farmers who work in this vast area covering Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece. Conscious of the important local differences in terms of crops, culture as well as national legislation and norms, ECPA decided not only to fund, but also to manage the Safe Use Initiative (SUI) from a pan-European perspective but with a strong local approach.
Objectives:
- Reduce potential user exposure by innovative application techniques;
- Reduce dermal and inhalation exposures with appropriate PPE and proper use; and;
- Reduce environmental impact with container rinsing and avoidance of surpluses.
