About
Aluminium phosphide is a dangerous compound.
Used incorrectly, it can be hazardous to the health and safety of users, the general public and non-target animals.
Our course is ideal for anyone using aluminium phosphide in a commercial environment, such as pest control operatives, farmers, gamekeepers, and greenkeepers.
The finer details
We'll provide you with a full working knowledge of the relevant commercial products and application equipment.
Key safety issues will be covered, as will the storage, transportation, and application of the compound.
Your competence in the activity will be assessed through practical observation and short answer questioning.
Worth noting: Recent changes in legislation require learners who complete our course to own the relevant equipment before they can then use aluminium phosphide.
