Understanding Chemical Storage Regulations and Best Practices

OSHA Requirements for Chemical Storage

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines regulations for chemical storage. These regulations address container suitability, labeling, secondary containment, and employee training. Understanding OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is crucial for compliant storage.

Four General Rules for Safe Chemical Storage:

  • Utilize compatible containers: Select containers specifically designed for the chemicals being stored. Consider factors like material composition, temperature tolerance, and chemical compatibility.
  • Prioritize proper labeling: Ensure clear and informative labels are affixed to all containers. Labels should include the chemical name, hazard pictograms, and safety precautions.
  • Implement secondary containment: Establish a secondary containment system to capture potential leaks or spills. This could involve spill trays, bund walls, or designated containment areas.
  • Train your employees: Provide comprehensive training to employees on safe chemical handling and storage procedures. Training should cover topics like hazard identification, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and spill response protocols.

Selecting the Perfect Chemical Storage Containers for Your Needs

DENIOS offers a comprehensive selection of chemical storage containers to cater to diverse needs:

  • IBC Totes (Intermediate Bulk Containers): Versatile and robust, IBC totes are ideal for storing and transporting large liquids. They are available in various materials and capacities to suit your specific requirements.

  • Chemical Storage Drums: DENIOS provides a wide array of chemical storage drums, including heavy-duty steel drums for maximum durability and plastic containers for lighter chemicals.

  • Safety Cans: Our superior safety cans prioritize safety for flammable liquids with features like flame arresters and self-closing lids.

  • Small Chemical Storage Containers: We offer a diverse range of bottles, jugs, and glass sampling bottles for secure storage and transport of laboratory chemicals, cleaning solutions, and other essential liquids.

Additional Considerations:

  • Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the container material is compatible with the stored chemicals. Incompatible materials can degrade the container or react with the chemicals, causing hazards.

  • Size and Capacity: Choose containers with sufficient capacity to accommodate the required volume of chemicals. Avoid overfilling containers, as this can lead to spills and leaks.
