Chemical storage facilities must adhere to strict safety standards to prevent accidents, environmental contamination, and health hazards.
1. Facility Design
Fireproof construction with explosion-resistant walls and ventilation systems
Chemical-resistant flooring with spill containment (e.g., bund walls)
Climate control for temperature-sensitive substances
2. Safety Measures
Segregation of incompatible chemicals (e.g., acids away from bases)
Proper labeling with GHS hazard pictograms and safety data
Secondary containment for liquids and hazardous materials
3. Emergency Preparedness
Fire suppression systems (sprinklers, foam, or CO₂)
Spill kits, eyewash stations, and emergency showers
Clear evacuation routes and safety signage
4. Compliance & Training
Regular inspections and employee safety training
Compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and local regulations
Proper chemical storage minimizes risks and ensures regulatory compliance.
