In addition NAAC member contractors use the following
set of guidance, depending upon the operation in which they are
involved:
Safe Use of Sulphuric Acid as an Agricultural Desiccant
Sulphuric Acid Approval Ended
Following the European Commission Decision not to include sulphuric acid in Annex 1 of Council
Directive 91/414/EEC, the final date for the field use of sulphuric acid for plant protection purposes was
5 June 2010.
As a result acid can no longer be used as an agricultural dessicant and therefore the NAAC has removed
our Code of Best Practice and Register of contractors from our website.
CrossTrack Code keeps Railways Safe
Large
and slow moving vehicles can cause a hazard when crossing
railways and Railtrack have been working with the NAAC to
try and prevent further agricultural accidents on crossings.
As a result, contractors are advised to read The Cross Track
Code and to take the advice seriously, to try and avoid potential
dangers. Click

Safety on Farms - A Shared Responsibility
Deaths
and injuries on farms are a serious problem for the employer,
employees, contractors and visitors. On average,
52 people die in agricultural accidents each year, whilst
over 2000 people suffer non-fatal injuries.
This leaflet is aimed at farmers and growers, people who
periodically work on farms, drivers who collect and deliver
farm goods and others making commercial visits to farms.
It emphasises the need for a shared responsibility, by the
farmer and the visitor. It also describes practical measures
to help prevent accidents.
