Pesticides - Boom Sprayer

Pesticides are widely used across many land-based industries.

But they can be potentially harmful substances.

It's essential they are handled, applied and stored correctly.

Our course will teach you to do just that.

It's designed for anyone who uses vehicle mounted/trailer boom spraying equipment (hydraulic nozzle) as part of their work.

Our course is a balanced mix of theory and practical work.

You'll be taught the basics of what the machine is and what it can do.

Field work will be followed by a rundown of decontamination and disposal techniques.
