Hazardous Waste Management Safety Program

Chapter Section

To the maximum extent possible, all poisons, acids, and flammable chemicals shall be stored separately from all other substances, preferably in designated storage areas or cabinets that are approved for the type of exposure anticipated.  All flammable liquids must be stored in UL or FM approved flammable storage cabinets.

The Safety Coordinator shall schedule periodic inspections to ensure that all hazardous substances within the company are appropriately labeled and stored.

Chemicals and substances utilized in maintenance, and which are particularly vulnerable to incompatibility and possible adverse reaction or accident due to improper storage, should be minimized.  To the maximum extent possible, for storage purposes, chemicals and substances should be separated into organic and inorganic groupings and further sorted into compatible families within the two major groupings.
