Objectives

  1. Read the pictograms, hazard statements and SDS sections useful for storage
  2. Identify incompatibilities between product families and derive a physical separation
  3. Design or correct a storage area: containment, ventilation, floor, extinguishing means, signage
  4. Organise receipt, inventory, stock rotation and the disposal of expired products
  5. React to a leak or spill with the right means

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference with “Chemical Risk: CLP, SDS, Storage”?

That other course deals with chemical risk as a whole, in particular people’s exposure at the workstation. This one is devoted to the physical organisation of storage: separation, containment, stock and leak management.

What should we prepare before the session?

The inventory of stored products with their SDSs, and the plan of the storage room or rooms. These documents are used to build the separation plan during the workshop.

Are cleaning and disinfection products concerned?

Yes. In food plants, acid, alkaline or chlorinated detergents and disinfectants are a frequent source of incompatibilities. They are treated on the same basis as reagents and process products.

Is the storage of hazardous waste covered?

Yes, for the separation and containment rules that also apply to waste awaiting collection. Their disposal route depends on your service providers and the permits they hold.
