Hazmat responses run the gamut from the extreme to relatively benign. When you’ve been in the business of providing chemical protection as long as we have, you’ve seen it all. From fertilizer explosions to overheating battery blocks and even a mass fentanyl exposure event. The whacky and unpredictable are our niche. Sometimes the smallest sparks lead to the largest fiascos while quick thinking averts certain death in other situations. But like any unmovable law of physics dictates, if something can go wrong, you can bet the company’s stock that it will invariably happen. Compliant chemical protection and storage is sort of like car insurance. You might spend your entire industrial career swerving past potholes and fanatic drivers completely unscathed. But just because you defied the odds in navigating the freeway of life doesn’t mean you’ve avoided other hidden dangers ahead.
All of those years of careful driving can become quickly tainted if you’re caught driving without insurance. Judges tend to frown upon those who cut corners and your driving privileges will likely be revoked, regardless of your pristine driving record. The same can be said for compliant chemical storage. Some project managers decide against a steel rated storage locker and decide to Tetris their chemical stockpiles into a nearby shed like throwing a hammer into an old toolbox. And just because you’ve avoided tragedy for decades doesn’t mean you’re perfectly legal. Unexpected OSHA visits can still lead to hefty fines and civil penalties, even if a dangerous chemical explosion or incident never occurred at your facility. So, what do you do? You take the guaranteed and secured option. You invest in compliant chemical protection from U.S. Hazmat Rentals.
Proven Protection for All of Life’s Interruptions
Insidious effects from dangerous chemicals are unlike any other threat. Because most gases and molecular interactions cannot be seen with the naked eye, they are virtually impervious of human oversight without constant vigilance and protection. A freak chemical incident that claimed the lives of three pet birds is the perfect example of silent, but deadly threats that permeate our daily lives. In Lynnfield, Massachusetts, a hazardous response team was dispatched to a local resident to investigate a possible gas leak that resulted in the deaths of three innocent pet birds. Authorities eventually chopped this case up to the “unknown and unexplained files,” as they were not able to determine the location of any gas leak. But there is a powerful takeaway message with the mysterious Lynnfield, Mass bird deaths. If you leave vulnerable assets unprotected or in the proximity of danger, the worst will invariably happen. It’s just the matter of odds at that point. While we are sure the thought of a gas leak never entered the mind of the birds’ owner, this message is relatable to the industrial setting where engineers and safety managers must account for every possible scenario, not matter how big or small or completely outlandish.
Versatile Compliant Chemical Protection in an Uncertain Chaotic World
Our strength in protection is rivaled only by our versatility. Our steel engineered chemical storage lockers are built to sustain volatile chemical reactions, extreme weather events and threats from the unknown. Our climate controlled lockers can also maintain optimal storage conditions to prevent sporadic weather conditions from impacting the storage locker’s internal conditions. You can think of our compliant chemical protection as living inside a nice little bubble, perfectly immune from all of life’s nasty threats!
