Best Practices for Chemical Storage

Storing hazardous materials properly is critical to maintaining a safe and compliant workplace. To ensure that chemicals are stored safely, it’s crucial to classify and segregate them by hazard class and use proper ventilation. Here are some essential guidelines:

• Always store chemicals in clearly labeled containers in a secure area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

• Segregate incompatible chemicals, such as flammable liquids and oxidizers, to prevent dangerous reactions.

• Use appropriate safety storage cabinets for different types of chemicals, including flammable and corrosive substances.

• Provide secondary containment for liquid chemicals to manage potential spills.

• Ensure safety equipment like fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, and emergency shut-off valves are readily available.

Key Safety Measures for Managing Multiple Hazard Classes

Many chemicals fall into multiple hazard categories, which can complicate storage decisions. When a chemical has more than one hazard class, it’s essential to prioritize the most severe hazard for storage purposes. For example, pyrophoric chemicals (which ignite spontaneously) should be stored according to their pyrophoric properties, even if they are also flammable.

•  Prioritize hazards: Focus on the most dangerous properties of a chemical when determining its storage location.

• Example: Acetic acid is both a corrosive and a combustible liquid. It should be stored away from incompatible corrosives and oxidizing acids. If space is limited, prioritize its combustibility by storing it in a flammable cabinet.

• Physical separation: Ensure incompatible chemicals are physically separated to avoid reactions. Avoid alphabetical storage unless the chemicals are compatible.

Refer to the AACT Chemical Incompatibility Table (PDF) for a detailed guide on segregating incompatible chemicals.
