 Chemical Storage
This section will first discuss general considerations
and requirements for chemical storage.

Next, it will provide specific information for the

storage of chemicals by hazard class.
 Chemical Storage-
Requirements
There must be an inventory list of hazardous
chemicals.

Chemical containers must be labeled with a minimum

of chemical name and hazard warnings.

Containers shall be dated when received and opened.

Accompanying material safety data sheets must be kept.
 Chemical Storage
General
Considerations:
Plan ahead for spills, accidents or emergencies.

Be aware of special storage conditions such as

temperature, relative humidity or limited shelf life.

Segregate chemicals by hazard class or compatibility.

 Chemical Storage
General
Considerations:
If available, use ventilated cabinets for volatile
toxics and odoriferous chemicals.

Use approved flammable storage cabinets for

flammable liquids.

Use secondary containers or trays for corrosives

and toxic solvents.
 Chemical Storage
General
Considerations:
When refrigerating flammables, only use refrigerators
specifically designed for flammable materials.

Do not store food in chemical storage refrigerators.

Label chemical storage refrigerators with the following:

No Food Chemical Storage Only
 Chemical Storage
Hazard Class
At a minimum, chemicals should be segregated as:

Corrosives

Oxidizers

Flammable Liquids

Poisons or Toxic Chemicals

Reactive (water or time sensitive)

Chemical Storage
Corro
Corr sives
Store concentrated acids and bases separately.
Store concentrated acids and bases separately.

H+ OH-
Keep corrosives away from organic chemicals and
combustible materials.

Use secondary catch basins for concentrated acids

and bases.
 Chemical Storage
As a generalFlammable Liquids
rule of thumb, no more than 10 gallons of
flammable liquids should be stored outside of an
approved flammable storage cabinet. Hospital patient
areas are typically much less (1 to 2 gallons).
Chemical Storage
xidizers
Store oxidizers away from flammable and combustible
materials.

Store oxidizers away from reducing agents.

Maintain the minimum quantity needed and dispose of

unneeded material immediately.
Chemical Storage To
ic Chemicals
Store highly toxic materials in a dedicated storage fume hood.

Maintain the minimum quantity needed and dispose of

unneeded material immediately.

Store in unbreakable containers or use secondary containers.

Label storage areas with designated area signs.

See tables 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the chemical hygiene plan for
partial lists of toxic chemicals, carcinogens and reproductive
toxins.
 Chemical Storage
Reactive
There are attention must be know such as :

Water reactive chemicals.

Pyrophors, which react with air.

ETHER
Peroxide forming chemicals, which form
shock sensitive explosives.
 Chemical Storage
Reactive
Give attention to labels for storage information.

Bring only quantities needed for immediate use into the

laboratory.

Date all reactive chemicals as soon as they are received.

Do not open material after the expiration date.

 Chemical Storage
Reactive
Store water reactive chemicals away from all
sources of water or in water tight containers.

Store thermally unstable chemicals in approved

refrigerators.

Consider explosion relief boxes for highly sensitive

materials.

Restrict access to the storage area.

 Chemical
Transporting
 Transporting
Chemicals
If chemicals are transferred to a second container, make
sure the new container is labeled with the chemical name.

Use secondary containers, with handles, made of rubber,

plastic or metal.

Secondary containers should be large enough to contain all

of the chemical contents.
 Transporting
Chemicals
Make sure the pathway is clear of obstructions and tripping hazards.

Transport only the quantity needed to complete the experiment.

Use sturdy carts when transporting heavy containers or transporting

over long distances.
