The Agri-Chemical Warehousing Standards Association (AWSA) was founded, and
is managed by, warehouse operators, manufacturers, distributors and governments
working together. Its mission is the continuous improvement of agrichemical
warehouse performance in Canada through the establishment of standards to
improve environmental protection, working conditions and business risk.
This is accomplished by ensuring that crop protection products are stored in
certified warehouses. Warehouses are audited every two years by auditors who
are specially trained and certified. The standards are enforced through the
issuing and withdrawing of certificates by AWSA. Agrichemical manufacturers
will not ship product to uncertified warehouses. In addition, AWSA informs,
educates and communicates with stakeholders and provides other services as
required.
