Description
This standard gives guidance on the precautions to be taken when soil insecticides are handled. It gives directives for the effective application of soil insecticides to building sites to protect buildings that are to be erected on the sites and to existing buildings (other than wooden structures in contact with the ground) against subterranean wood-destroying termites, and describes the action to be taken in the event of contamination or poisoning.
