10 Point Plan

  • 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.
  • Do, wherever possible, and with regard to HSE safety guidance, 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.)
