Ten Point Plan for Fertiliser Security

|
Avoid
leaving fertiliser unprotected and publicly visible.
|
|
Do
not store fertiliser where there is public access
Do
not leave bags of fertiliser in the field overnight
Do
not store fertiliser near to, or visible from, the public highway
Do
not sell fertiliser unless the purchaser is personally known by
you to be a bona-fide farmer user and is aware of the need to follow
this guidance. (Be aware of the requirement to provide a copy of
the detonation resistance certificate if you sell or supply relevant
ammonium nitrate based fertiliser.)
Do
record fertiliser deliveries and usage

|
Ensure
that your fertiliser is in a secure location. |
|
Do
, wherever possible, and with regard to HSE
safety guidance ( Adobe PDF file, 107 Kb ), store fertiliser
inside a locked building or compound
Do
fully sheet fertiliser when stored outside and regularly check to
ensure that the stack has not been tampered with.
Do
carry out regular, frequent stock checks
Do
report immediately any unexplained stock discrepancy or loss/theft
to the police
Do
record any manufacturers code numbers from the bags and if available,
the number of the detonation resistance test certificate. (NB: Detonation
resistance test certificates do not apply in Northern Ireland.)
