About
Aluminium phosphide is a dangerous compound.
Used incorrectly, it can be hazardous to the health and safety of users, the general public and non-target animals.
Our course is ideal for anyone using aluminium phosphide in a commercial environment, such as pest control operatives, farmers, gamekeepers, and greenkeepers.
The finer details
We'll provide you with a full working knowledge of the relevant commercial products and application equipment.
Key safety issues will be covered, as will the storage, transportation, and application of the compound.

Worth noting: Recent changes in legislation require learners who complete our course to own the relevant equipment before they can then use aluminium phosphide.
