Unlike our polluted ecosystem, federal chemical storage practices are crystal clear. Any industrial manufacturer that engages in negligent storage practices is culpable in resulting hazmat incidents. No industry operates in a vacuum. What happens down the road, or upstream can have a debilitating effect on surrounding communities and water supplies. Federal regulations aim to curb not only delinquent behavior but serve as a benchmark that all industries should strive for in environmental protection. While accountability and transparency are rallying calls for democratic jurisprudence, common-sense storage practices also carry a financial incentive. Securing reliable and federally compliant chemical storage is more cost-effective and logistically unencumbering than haphazardly misplacing necessary precursor chemicals. Why waste time and resources scouring for the tools of the trade when a centralized turnkey solution is only a phone call away?
Why Federally Compliant Chemical Storage Matters
Federally compliant chemical storage is minimal requirement for health and safety in the workplace. Although many manufacturers don’t act maliciously in violating federal environmental protection regulations, the results will remain the same. Failure to secure federally compliant chemical storage is a brazen affront to not only the law, but also the communities industries serve. Ignorance is never an excuse for illegal activities, so it’s best to consult with a trusted official to ensure compliance. Recently, an alleged recurring offender breached the laws of the land and patience of state prosecutors for the last time. The Chicago attorney general announced this week that his office has filed a lawsuit against a holding company for the improper storage of hazardous chemicals. In addition, the state prosecutor also alleges the company engaged in illegal dumping of dangerous metal and chemical waste. Despite the severity of the nuanced language of the suit, it is unlikely we will see an immediate verdict.
Is Your Company in Violation of Chemical Storage Laws?
If you’ve turned to Google in determining your company’s federally compliant chemical storage, you’re already at a disadvantage. Federal regulations concerning chemical storage are constantly changing without flexibility to discourage recidivism. Because of the breadth of knowledge required for understanding complex regulations, many companies may unknowingly violate state sanctioned chemical storage practices. There’s no one-size fits all mentality with storing multiple classifications of hazardous materials. What works for chemical does not necessarily meet the threshold of legality for another classification. Each dangerous chemical requires unique storage conditions, preventing inadvertent interactions with incompatible materials.
