Medical supplies are the modern elixirs of longevity. Breakthroughs in pathology have necessitated the rapid evolution of both medical supplies and lab chemicals to combat chronic illness. These powerful precursors have revolutionized breakthroughs in medicine that have improved both quantity and quality of life for millions of Americans. Without advances in medical science, humanity would be at the mercy of rampant disease and debilitating infections. Powerful chemicals also require superior protection to prevent deterioration and environmental contamination. U.S. Hazmat Rentals fire-rated medical supply storage lockers can safeguard against degradation and chemical mishaps. The global medical supply market is currently valued at $247 billion and is expected to grow with a compound annual growth rate of 16.7 percent. With so much riding on the advancement and procurement of modern medicine, hospital compliant officers owe it to their board of directors and shareholders to invest in viable storage solutions.
Chemical storage lockers can isolate and protect potentially toxic pharmaceuticals and antidotes
A hospital’s pharmacy is its secret stash. This cornucopia of medicine can cure countless afflicted patients with breakthroughs in treatment that were considered science fiction just a decade ago. While pharmacies can be humanity’s saving grace, they also come with a few necessary evils. Although pharmaceuticals save thousands of lives annually, they can also forever tarnish the environment and injure necessary personnel. The same properties that make pharmaceuticals so powerful also render them hazardous. Fire-rated chemical storage lockers are a feasible and practical storage solution. Unique compartmental shelving and push-back racking increases ease of access and allows pharmacies to store a wide range of medicine. Climate control and mechanical ventilating prevents rapid temperature fluctuations that could compromise the chemical consistencies of vulnerable medicines.
Medical chemical storage lockers can keep labs sterile and safe
Laboratories are ground zero for medical breakthroughs. Penicillin, vaccines and other revolutionary advances likely came from a bespectacled researcher peering into a microscope while examining specimens and cultures from petri dishes. Unfortunately, the same chemicals that are so important in making us feel better can also be extremely toxic in external settings. Laboratories contain numerous chemical and biological hazards that can pose immediate health risks to personnel and the surrounding environment. U.S. Hazmat Rentals can prevent costly contamination with short-term storage solutions. An innovative continuous steel grated sump containment system can safely collect spills in the lab should they happen. Having an onsite chemical storage lockers inside a lab setting can streamline workflow operations by safely storing hazardous materials in a controlled environment. This means you will be able to access and put away dangerous chemicals at your convenience.
