Think Before Storing Potential Hazardous Chemicals At Home

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.
