Ensuring Compliance with Official Controls (Plant Protection Products) 2020 Regulations
Ensuring Compliance with Official Controls (Plant Protection Products) 2020 Regulations
For all businesses and individuals involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or use of Plant Protection Products (PPPs), the Official Controls (Plant Protection Products) 2020 regulations mandate that all entities in this sector must register on the government portal.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Pesticide Enforcement Officers (PEOs) have been actively ensuring compliance among prominent manufacturers and distributors of chemicals. They are now expanding their focus to include end users and onward sellers in their compliance programs.
The HSE may arrive without notice and can enter any premises not used mainly as a private dwelling. The aim is to ensure safety, protect consumers, and safeguard the environment.
