Environmental and Health Standards

The Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region (CRC) places great importance on enhancing the capacities of national personnel in the fields of occupational safety, health, and environmental standards during control operations. The Commission encourages member states to allocate specialized teams within their national locust units dedicated to environmental protection, ensuring compliance with proper procedures during field campaigns. Additionally, the Commission emphasizes the importance of monitoring and observing any potential indicators of pollution that may affect workers, local communities, or the surrounding environment.
