IV SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Store in the tightly sealed, original containers in a dry, secure, well-ventilated place
away from fertilisers, seed, feed and food. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep out
of reach of children, unauthorised persons and animals.
SPILLS AND DISPOSAL
In case of spillage it is important to take all steps necessary to:
鈥? Avoid contamination of all areas where vegetation grows - this is an
extremely potent selective herbicide, and contaminated areas may not
support vegetation for many years.
鈥? Avoid eye and skin contact.
鈥? Avoid contamination of waterways.
Procedure for spill:
1. Keep all bystanders away.
2. Wear full length clothing and PVC gloves.
3. Sweep up dust thoroughly and shovel into an uncontaminated drum,
adding any broken containers.
4. If agricultural soil has been contaminated consider the option of removing
and disposing of the contaminated soil to allow vegetation to grow and to
stop further contamination.
5. Dispose of by burying in an approved secure landfill site.
6. Clean all contaminated equipment by rinsing in a dilute solution of 1 litre
sodium hypochlorite (0.2%) solution, to 200 litres of water.
Note: In the unlikely event of a major prepared spray spill, consider the possible
long-term consequences to the vegetation. If good agricultural land is likely to
be affected it may be necessary to contain and absorb the spill with a soil or
sand dam. Disposal of sand/soil dam and any contaminated soil should be
carried out as above.
Dispose of empty, used containers by:
(a) Triple rinsing with water. Add the rinsings to the tank mix or dispose of
rinsate in a disposal pit away from desirable plants and their roots, and
watercourses. On-site disposal of undiluted product is unacceptable.
(b) Breaking, crushing or puncturing the container to prevent reuse.
(c) Disposing of in a local authority landfill site that does not burn its refuse. If
there is no local authority landfill readily available in your area, bury the
containers under at least 50 cm of soil at a licensed/approved disposal site.
DO NOT burn empty containers or product.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
This product is non-flammable and non-explosive. Extinguish warehouse and factory
fires using fine water spray or foam. Do not allow fire-water to enter drains.

V OTHER INFORMATION
This product is an extremely potent selective herbicide. Care should be taken to avoid
all contact with non-target vegetation. Do not apply on or near shrubs, trees, lawns or
crops other than wheat. Do not drain or flush equipment near desirable trees or other
plants, or in areas where soil seepage may occur. Do not allow spray to drift onto
adjacent crops, fallow land or non-target desirable plants. All types of winter cereals
(wheat, barley, oats, triticale and cereal rye) can be replanted the following season after
use without restrictions. All other crops require a replanting interval. Refer to the
product label booklet for full details of replanting intervals. Do not apply to irrigation
drains or channels. Do not contaminate dams, streams, creeks, rivers or groundwater
with the product, its diluted mixtures or application equipment.
Triasulfuron technical is practically non-toxic to birds, bees and fish.
