Further information
Secure your fertiliser
Anyone who handles or stores fertiliser should consider its security to ensure that it does not fall into the wrong hands. The leaflets, the 5-point plan and guidance document below offer advice.
Selling chemicals responsibly
This leaflet and poster are to raise awareness among site operators about the ‘dual-use’ nature of hazardous products.
They provide advice about ensuring that they supply those products to known customers, and encourage them to be more enquiring of new customers and to report suspicious enquiries to police.
Notify appropriate authorities
Managers and occupiers of laboratories and other premises must notify the appropriate authorities that they intend to hold, keep or use stocks of specified disease-causing micro-organisms and toxins.
