Does your business involve storing hazardous chemicals? In material handling and storage safety of chemical substances, your warehouse must employ strict storing rules to avoid accidents. These types of substances can cause a fire, poisoning or lead to accidents resulting in the injury of your employees. Therefore, there is no room for disregarding the safety of your employees and business. In just a flick of a finger, your warehouse can turn into ash because of unsafe storage of chemical substances and lack of risk assessment.
A warehouse operation that handles these kinds of substances is required to follow the safe storage of hazardous chemicals. Each type of chemical has a unique method of storing. Thus, it is necessary that you follow these guidelines to prevent any accidents.
As a help for your business, here are some of the storage techniques to avoid damages in your business.
Identify the type of chemical in the container
Every chemical has different characteristics. Some are toxic, corrosive, flammable and explosive, whereas other types of chemicals are highly dangerous to the environment which may cause contamination or pollution. Identifying the chemical inside the container will help you to know the best method for storing the container.
Check for damages
When a truck of chemicals arrives in your warehouse, check what type of substances it contains. Always assess if the containers are in good condition and check any indication of damages. If there are any damages, immediately report it and do the necessary action. Do not let damaged containers e mixed with those in good condition for it may result in unexpected accidents.
Do not overstock containers
Each container must contain the exact amount of the chemical substance. Do not let the substance exceed the designated amount of chemicals inside one container. Moreover, do not overstock these containers. Make sure that each drum is correctly placed without overcrowding. A warehouse which does not practice correct measures in stocking drums is prone to accident. It is even more dangerous that you are storing hazardous chemicals. Thus, always take precaution in storing these containers.
Utilize high-quality warehouse equipment
Transporting a 55 gallon drum is difficult. Because of the cylindrical shape of drums, it is hard to have a grip. Therefore, you will need the help of 55 gallon drum lifter to transport and move these heavy materials from place to another. This tool will help you to move heavy materials easier and faster. Moreover, storing containers will be much convenient.
