Refer to manual reference section 2, point 14

Reference Manual section 1 - ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY.
While these things are not specifically listed as PPE, they are all required when you are undertaking a SmartFresh application to ensure your safety.

Reference Manual Section 1 - ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY
1.1.3 - If on opening the pouch there is loose powder, immediately place in a snaplock bag, replace with a new pouch and advise your AgroFresh representative

Best Practice is to put on your hi-viz vest and turn your oxygen meter on as soon as you arrive at the customer site, when you get out of your car.
Also, remember to park in the designated area away from any potential hazards.

The correct answer is "Yes" because working through all sections of the checklist before placing the pouch in the delivery system ensures that all necessary tasks and steps have been completed. This helps to minimize the risk of errors or omissions, ensuring that the pouch is properly prepared and ready for delivery. By following the checklist in order, it helps to maintain consistency and accuracy in the process, reducing the chances of any potential issues or problems occurring during delivery.

If you have any concerns about the success of an application upon opening the room, please take a photo and advise AgroFresh as soon as possible. Please ensure your discretion in terms of discussing the issue with the customer. The customer will be contacted by AgroFresh if and when required.

If this occurs, you should initially discuss it with the customer to determine whether they know what has happened. If you are satisfied that the room has not been opened prior to your arrival, make a note of it on the checklist, advise AgroFresh and proceed to vent the room.
If you are not satisfied that the room has remained closed throughout the 24 hour application period, contact AgroFresh immediately and then you will need to complete an Incident Report Form.

Reference section 4.6 SAMPLING PROCEDURES
When taking samples, these should be from a grower that is in the room. If this is not possible, it should at least be one of the varieties that is present in the room.
The fruit selected should be representative of the fruit in the room, uniform in size (medium size) with no obvious defects.
Sample size as per the checklist.
If the customer has already organised the sample, please check that the sample complies with the above requirements. Any concerns, contact AgroFresh.

The manual states that checklists need to be returned and the website updated within 48 hours of completion of the application.

For any discrepancy on the checklist (apart from time & date of application), you MUST contact your AgroFresh representative prior to proceeding with the application

Refer to Manual section 4 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
