Selecting the appropriate Containment Shelving
What are the 4 general rules for storing chemicals?
The safe storage of hazardous chemicals is integral to laboratory safety. While there's no universal method, regulations, campus requirements, and best practices serve as guides. Understanding the hazards of stored chemicals starts with maintaining an updated inventory and comprehending the associated risks. This will ensure you select the appropriate chemical storage shelves.
Proper Storage Conditions
Ensuring chemicals are stored securely is paramount. This involves using stable, wall-mounted shelves below eye level to prevent accidents. It's crucial to avoid storing chemicals on floors, ledges, or balconies and keep containers closed when not used. Employing secondary containment for liquids and ensuring proper labeling and compatibility between containers and chemicals are essential practices.
Chemical Segregation
Chemical segregation minimizes the risk of unintended reactions. By categorizing chemicals based on hazards like pyrophorics, flammables, corrosives, oxidizers, and toxins, it becomes easier to store them separately. Specific storage guidelines for materials such as explosives, compressed gases, and cryogens should be strictly followed to prevent hazardous interactions.
Handling Multiple Hazard Classes
Handling chemicals that belong to multiple hazard classes requires a prioritization strategy. Assessing and prioritizing hazards is essential, emphasizing the most critical properties for storage purposes. For instance, a chemical with pyrophoric properties should be stored considering this characteristic's significance over other hazards.
Storage Limitations
Minimizing the quantities of stored hazardous chemicals reduces the likelihood and severity of incidents. It's crucial to adhere to storage limitations outlined in regulatory guidelines like the campus Chemical Hygiene Plan. Seeking information from labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and consulting Chemical Safety staff for advice is vital in maintaining safe storage practices.
