US Hazmat Rentals’ Safe Storage Tips
- Some hazardous materials cannot come into contact with other organic substances (food, water, and other dangerous chemicals). Always be sure to store incompatible materials separately.
- Use fire rated buildings to store flammable chemicals. US Hazmat Rentals offers a wide variety of buildings that are two hour fire rated or four hour fire rated for protection from intense flame.
- When storing combustible material, ensure all components are explosion proof, such as lighting, climate control, and fire suppression systems for improved safety, compliance and performance.
- Double check that climate control and ventilation systems are active to provide clean air for the inside of the storage unit.
- Always store chemical inventory away from any entrances or exits.
- Create an Emergency Response Plan in case of a possible incident.
In addition to these safety tips, always be sure to follow your local laws and regulations regarding safe storage of hazardous chemicals.
- Always have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for all of the chemicals being stored
- Certain chemicals, when being stored above a certain amount, must be reported to designated officials. Know your chemicals!
