Hi there,

 

Just wondering which pa ticket i would need to get to do some manual spraying with a nap sack, mainly glyphosphate

 

Cheers Chris

for your own use nothing.

as an employee pa1 and pa6

[swinny]

this would be for a job i have of my own for a customer.....

[treesnatcher]

then operator should have pa1 pa6 coshh assesments done and suitable ppe

in practise glyphosate is approved for amateur/householder use just keep away from water or ponds. few ppm lethal to fish

Cheers, its first spraying job i've been asked to do really and thought it may be good to do it myself etc.... but its 195.00 per pa course might not be financially viable for a small spraying job once every few months. hmmmm

Shame your not closer to me i have pa1 and pa6, they've never been used in anger mind, we did them when we were subbing into the local water company, we were ment to take over the grounds maintenance but it never happened!!!!

If you decide to go ahead with courses you're as well to do PA6 AW, it costs no more than PA6 but gives you a bit more scope for work.

What does the 'aw' include ive already got 1 & 6?

Its the water part that lets you spray within your 2 meter buffer zone and onto water. Its handy to have, i did mine and its an extra 10 minutes
