Fertilizer Canada's Agricultural Ammonium Nitrate Code of Practice is now in full force.
It's mandatory for Fertilizer Canada members.
The Code parallels federal regulations outlining best practices for the safe and secure storage and handling of ammonium nitrate.
It's designed to help shippers, sellers, handlers, customers and end-users become aware of and assist in their compliance with the regulatory environment.
Fertilizer Canda President and CEO Garth Whyte says ensuring fertilizer safety requires coordination among all stakeholders, from facility to farm gate.
Educational resources support the Agricultural Ammonium Nitrate Code of Practice are available on Fertilizer Canada's website.
