[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 8097745, member: 48190"] The Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012 require that the application of plant protection products (PPP) must be confined to the land, crop, structure, material or other area to be treated. The spray must not drift outside the area of application. Everyone who uses a PPP has a legal responsibility to ensure that [B]all reasonable precautions[/B] are taken to protect the health of human beings, creatures and plants, to safeguard the environment and in particular, to avoid pollution of water. Detailed guidance on applying pesticides is found in the Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products (PPP Code). Everyone who uses a PPP has a legal responsibility to ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken to protect the health of human beings, creatures and plants, to safeguard the environment and in particular, to avoid pollution of water. Advice on how users can meet their responsibilities under pesticide legislation is given in the PPP Code which is jointly produced by the [URL='http://www.defra.gov.uk/']Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs[/URL] (Defra) and the [URL='https://www.hse.gov.uk/index.htm']Health & Safety Executive[/URL] (HSE). The status of the PPP Code as a statutory code of practice is such that whilst it is not in itself an offence not to follow the advice that it gives, failure to do so can be used as evidence of a breach of legislation.
