Growsafe videos
Published: 4 October 2024
We recently created ten videos across a range of topics to provide guidance to agrichemical users on safe, responsible and effective use. It is great to have videos that reflect the equipment, weeds and PPE that we see in Aotearoa (and of course the Kiwi accent).
Putting together the videos was an interesting and challenging experience with numerous details to consider. One of the videos covers the process of cleaning and removing PPE after spraying. Our video producer asked us at what point we were going to rinse the tap that we’d touched with 'dirty' gloves to turn it on at the start of the washdown. A great question!
There are also two videos looking at respirators – how to clean them properly and another on checking the seal each time you use them. Another video looks at how to clean up a minor spill.
Five of the videos focus on knapsack spraying (mixing, checking equipment, managing drift etc) and we plan to develop similar videos for motorised spray application equipment. There is also a video on calibrating measuring equipment such as jugs and checking the volume of a knapsack tank.
All ten videos are now available to view on the Growsafe website under the Resources tab.
Take a look!
