Hygiene Consumables & Dispensing for Nurseries & Horticulture in Namibia

Three tiers: general potting and handling takes household latex (dexterity, cheap to replace); chemical work — mixing feed concentrates, cleaning chemistry — takes nitrile, which resists what latex absorbs; and thorny or abrasive stock handling takes the heavier coated work gloves. Buying one middle glove for everything means it is wrong for everything; the tiered box costs the same and protects properly.

Three, well kept, beat six neglected: a staff wash point at the potting/work area (Chemkleen dispenser, paper towels), the customer washroom (soap, paper, deo block), and a sanitizer point at the till (Antisep 100) where money and hands meet all day. Wall-mounted dispensers refilled from bulk keep all three honest — the sheet’s single word “Dispensers” carries exactly this plan.

Dedicated, labelled bottles per use — feeding, foliar treatment, cleaning — because residue from one program contaminates the next: a cleaning-chemical trace in a foliar bottle burns leaves, and nobody diagnoses it for weeks. Cernol’s trigger bottles are cheap enough to dedicate and replace; the discipline is the label and the rule that bottles never swap jobs. Add a measuring jug per concentrate and dosing stops being folklore.

For any label-directed spraying — foliar feeds, treatments, cleaning chemistry: nitrile gloves, and a mask where wind or enclosed spaces put mist near the face — plus the ordinary sense of spraying downwind and washing up after (Chemkleen at the staff point). Keep the PPE with the product so the pairing is automatic. The label is the law here; our consumables rack just makes following it convenient.
