FERTILIZERS AND FIRE

Clear messages enhance safety. In 2003, EFMA developed a Fertilizer and Fire leaflet in 5 major languages for display in warehouses based on the recommendations given in the EFMA Handbook on Safe Storage and Handling of AN-based fertilizers (1992 - under revision). The leaflet gives the dos and don’ts to prevent fire or decomposition in warehouses and what to do if such an event occurs.
