Why Do Businesses Use Chemical Storage Containers?
Storing hazardous materials safely is a legal and regulatory requirement for compliance with HSE under the DSEAR and COSHH guidelines. As part of your control measures, all materials that are considered harmful to people and the environment should be stored within appropriate, secure containersÂ
Some of the key reasons that businesses use chemical storage containers include:
Regulatory compliance: UK businesses are required to comply with the HSE’s guidance for the storage of hazardous liquids and solids.
Environmental protection: Appropriate containment of chemicals can prevent them from harming the environment and people in your workplace.
Fire and spill prevention: Specialist storage in chemical containers reduces the risk of accidents by providing a physical barrier between the materials and the environment.
Safer work operations: Keeping chemicals in a secure storage container, whether it is a walk-in container or simply locked shelves, prevents workplace accidents caused by improper access.
Preventing potential liability: Meeting your obligations for the safe storage of harmful or dangerous chemicals can reduce your risk of liability if an incident occurs.
Choosing The Right Container for Chemical Storage
Picking the right container for chemical storage is essential for meeting relevant compliance measures for different material types. For example, chemicals that are incompatible, because they may react in a hazardous way, should be stored separately. Some of the factors you should consider when choosing the right chemical storage containers include:
Indoor vs outdoor: Outdoor storage is typically considered more suitable for high volumes of materials and those that are volatile or highly flammable.
Fire-rating: Storage units for flammable materials should have at least 30 minutes of fire resistance to comply with UK regulations.
Ventilation: Proper ventilation is critical in the storage of chemicals to prevent built-up vapours that can be harmful or flammable.
Temperature control: Certain chemicals have strict temperature requirements for storage, such as refrigeration or freezing, to safely store volatile substances.
Futureproofing: Going beyond basic compliance and focusing on a high level of safety and control for your chosen chemical storage can help to future-proof it and comply with new regulations.
