SPRAYERS & SPRAYING
Industry partnerships are the key to promote safe PPP use
Berthoud & Cooper Pegler maintain their industry dominance with long history of linking up with key industry partners. Teaming up with LANTRA, Harper Adams and recently working alongside NSTS to refresh the Hand Held Sprayer( knapsack & Pressure Sprayers) Routine Checklist are key highlights.
Cooper-Pegler & Berthoud sprayers champion the legal requirements of effective training to keep people in our industry and the environment as safe as possible.
The work of LANTRA or City & Guilds training centres and trainers is key, plus it’ s surprisingly often a two way street. Richard Wheatcroft, the National Account Manager for Berthoud and Cooper Pegler sprayers, who has a training background, says:“ When I visit training establishments it’ s a genuine pleasure to see that many insist on using Cooper Pegler knapsacks for their training. They are robust, reliable and if anything does need sorting, it’ s easily done‘ in the field’ without specialist tools and time wasted”
These training establishments carry out their work professionally and this is key to set candidates into the right frame of mind when it comes to the serious job of applying pesticides- especially in urban or populated areas. As an industry, we look to those places such as: Greenway Training, Amenity Training & Consultancy, WCF
Progreen and Park Hill Training, amongst many others, setting the tone.
Cooper Pegler has distributed CP knapsack training posters and serviced sprayers at some centres this year to repay the faith in the UK’ s best known knapsack brands- with plans to keep those links alive for 2025-26. The last word is best summed up by Trainer & Assessor, John Faulks:“ Quality always shines through. A well maintained cooper pegler will last a lifetime”
