Good chemical storage protects personnel, facilities, and product quality. Storage decisions should reflect chemical compatibility, temperature requirements, light sensitivity, container type, and local regulations.
Segregate by hazard and compatibility
Do not rely on alphabetical arrangement alone. Separate incompatible groups and use secondary containment where appropriate. Keep labels legible and ensure containers remain securely closed.
Maintain documented controls
Monitor required environmental conditions, inspect inventory routinely, and manage expiration or retest dates. Consult the product SDS and technical documentation for material-specific requirements.
