Important Safety Reminders on Ammonia

Please keep in mind, if you hire part time employees or growers to custom apply anhydrous ammonia on behalf of your business, they are required to complete anhydrous ammonia safety training.  IFCA offers a 90-day training certificate that would satisfy the requirement of a competent attendant, at least temporarily.  You can access this training by clicking on this link.
 
If you are planning customer meetings this winter, consider incorporating anhydrous ammonia grower safety training into your meetings.  IFCA is happy to assist with grower training; our members who have offered grower safety training in the past received very positive feedback from the growers that attended the training.  Growers also can access the training online through the IDOA website.  With many growers now owning their own tool bars, it is vital they understand that tool bar safety coupling devices need to be properly installed and maintained.  Please contact John Rebholz concerning any ammonia safety issues or if you are in need of a trainer to provide grower training for your customers.
