Free farm chemical and fertiliser storage guide
A plain-English guide to keeping chemicals and fertilisers stored, labelled and recorded the right way.
What it covers
- Labelling and safety data sheets (SDS)
- Keeping incompatible products apart
- Bunding and spill clean-up
- Ventilation, signage and locked storage
- Keeping a chemical register
- Spray records for chemical use
Records go hand in hand
Many states require spray records for agricultural chemical use, including date, product, rate, location and weather. Keep storage and spray records together.
Check your state rules
Chemical use and storage rules differ by state. Use this guide alongside product labels and your state regulator's guidance.
Common questions
Can I keep spray records on my phone?
Yes. My Farm HQ's spray log fills in the date, product, rate, paddock, GPS and the weather at the time of spraying, including wind and Delta T.
General guidance only, not legal advice. Check your state WHS regulator for rules that apply to your farm.
