Day-to-day operating brief

What Sprayer Operator work looks like in practice

An Agricultural Sprayer Operator applies authorised crop-protection or nutrient products using mounted, trailed or self-propelled equipment. The employee must work from approved field and product instructions rather than choose treatments independently. Terms should specify competence and certification, machines, storage and transport interfaces, calibration, PPE, weather and drift limits, water protection and buffers, public or neighbour contact, spills, cleaning, waste, restricted-entry information and the accuracy and timing of application records.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Verify field product rate and approval before mixing.
  • Inspect calibrate and operate authorised equipment.
  • Monitor weather buffers drift and access controls.
  • Manage PPE filling cleaning spills and waste.
  • Record application conditions quantities and exceptions.

  • accurate authorised field applications
  • clean maintained spraying equipment
  • complete traceable application records

Records and evidence

  • Field crop product rate and authority.
  • Machine nozzle calibration and check.
