Think Before Storing Potential Hazardous Chemicals At Home

5/1/2015

As we all know, storing chemicals has to be done correctly and safely or hazards occur and accidents occur. A 26 year old man has been arrested in Aberdeen and charged in connection with the storage of potentially hazardous chemicals. Police in Scotland have searched two homes following this, and feel that this event wasn’t a danger to the public and there was no indication to it being terrorism. However, when storing hazardous fluids incorrectly, accidents can easily happen.

Know Your Chemical Storage Rules And Regulations

4/8/2015

There are many different regulations we must follow when storing chemicals. These regulations may vary slightly when keeping different chemicals, and the laws are set out by the Government, for our safety. There are also many other companies who can help us understand the legislation surrounding safe chemical storage. Below I have listed some of the rules you must adhere to when holding chemicals.
Know Your Chemical Storage Rules And Regulations
  • The amount of flammable liquids being handled in the workroom / working area, and the quantities of liquid that may be accidentally released or spilt.
  • Ignition sources in the workroom / working area, and potential fire spread in the event of an ignition.
  • Exhaust ventilation provision to the workroom / working area, and / or the storage cupboard or bin.
  • The fire performance of the storage cupboard or bin.
  • The arrangements for closing the cupboard or bin doors/lid in the event of a fire.
  • Means of escape from the workroom / working area.

It is very important that these regulations are followed correctly as this is when hazards occur. Lion containers (Chemical Stores) Ltd have done lots of research into keeping chemicals. As a result of this research, we can now convert shipping containers into chemical stores. That means these requirements are perfect, they suit everyone’s needs and come in a range of sizes. Lion Containers (Chemical Stores) Ltd are compliant with Government regulations; we also meet the Environment Agency’s recommendations. All of our containers come with an integral bund, so if there is a chemical spillage it will not enter any drainage systems. This spillage goes into a bunded floor, so the chemicals can then be disposed of in the correct way. Another advantage of having a converted container chemical store is that you can have it posititioned anywhere. If you were storing explosive chemicals then you could keep them away from your work place, home or animals.
