HEALTH & SAFETY

The following points have been set out as guidelines to ensure safe working practices, and to protect the

health and safety of our staff, customers and general public.

Rodenticide Baits : Bait boxes and bait stations are tamper resistant and require a key to open, however

under no circumstances must you attempt to gain access to the bait inside or re-locate boxes from where

our technician has placed them.

WARNING: Rodenticides are a form of poison and are harmful to your health if tampered with or mis-handled !

Insecticide Sprays : During a spray treatment our technicians will be wearing personal protective equipment

(PPE). Under no circumstances should you enter the area being treated without receiving clearance from the

technician. If post-treatment health & safety instructions are given to you they must be adhered to.

WARNING: Some insecticide have a residual effect and can remain active in the treated area for some time !

Fogging and Smoke Generators : These methods of treatment are carried out using very strict guidelines.

Therefore, under no circumstances must anyone other than the technician be in the area being treated,this

includes adjacent rooms and close proximity. The areas are not to be re-entered for the period of time which

is specified by the technician, this can be anything up to 4 hours.

WARNING: Although after treatment the fog or smoke is visible this will disperse after a period of time,

however remains airbourne for sometime and will be harmful to your health if you are exposed to these.

These guidelines will be reviewed periodically and all staff made aware of any changes to our Health, Safety & Environment Policy.

THE ENVIRONMENT

We follow a strict Health, Safety & Environment Policy, which we implement to protect our staff,

customers and the general public. We take every precaution possible to ensure that the risks of using

pesticides and harm to the environment are minimised by only using them when considered absolutely

necessary.

Challenge Services supports a minimal use of pesticides policy and where practical will always consider

the use of non-pesticide methods to reduce Environmental Impacts and risk of harm to wildlife,

If Insecticides or Rodenticides are used we ensure that any excess is disposed of appropriately within

pesticide regulations.

These guidelines will be reviewed periodically and all staff made aware of any changes to our Health, Safety & Environment Policy.
