Emergency Washing A Feature of New Facility Design

The Larry Ford Nurseries chemical handling facility features an emergency shower and an eye/hand-washing sink for quick rinses of irritating and possibly dangerous chemicals. Qualifying for up to $30,000 worth of Agricultural Cost Share Funds, these facilities have sloped concrete floors that drain all spilled chemicals into a sump for pumping into another tank for reuse. The stairs (upper right corner) lead to an upper-level tank array for mixing the concentrated pesticides and herbicides and loading them into farm vehicle sprayers.
