What is the safest position to adopt when filling a spray tank?

The safest position to adopt when filling a spray tank is to stand with your head above the container and the filling hole. This position minimizes the risk of exposure to any hazardous chemicals that may splash or spill during the filling process. By maintaining this posture, you can ensure that your head and face are at a safe distance from potential irritants, vapors, or splashes that could occur when adding pesticide or other substances to the tank.

In this position, you can also have a clearer line of sight to observe how much fluid is being added to the tank, helping to prevent overfilling or spills. It promotes better control and safety while handling potentially harmful liquids. Additionally, standing upright can allow for better posture and reduces the likelihood of accidents due to awkward bending or leaning over the tank, which can also lead to exposure or injury should a sudden spill occur.
