The Agriculture (Poisonous Substances) Act 1952 (15 & 16 Geo. 6 & 1 Eliz. 2. c. 60) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed to provide protection of contractors against risks of poisoning by harmful substances in agriculture. It required protective clothing and other safety measures when handling certain named chemicals.[1]

The act gave permission for the creation of inspectors to regulate harmful substances. The act itself was fully repealed by the Health and Safety (Repeals and Revocations) Regulations 1996.
