Pesticides distribution should be regulated to ensure it is done by trained personnel and to avoid mishandling causing human or environmental risk.
The implementation of the distribution scheme element is done following 3 steps:
- Implementation of rules on distribution of pesticides in the country through the adoption of parts of GHS and related safety data sheets / precautionary phrases
- Implementation of rules on retail storage and handling to ensure health and environmental protection
- Implementation of advertising rules to ensure pesticides are advertised with suitable information on hazards
