All stored chemicals must be placed above a retention or spill pallet.
Regulations change depending on where you store (industrial area, laboratories, …) and what products you are storing (flammables, toxics, corrosives…).
The volume of retention of any storage of dangerous liquids that could pollute water and soil must be at least equal to the biggest following values :
• 100% of the biggest container
• 30% of the total volume stored
• 100% of the biggest container
• 30% of the total volume stored
Virtually every business places, and even homeowners, have opportunity to use flammable or combustible liquids. Gasoline, chemicals, solvents, etc…are found in various amounts and locations. Whereas these liquids are relatively commonplace, it is important to understand the dangers they present and the special storage and handling procedures required to ensure safe usage.
Moreover, transport of dangerous liquids require special protection and only UN agreed containers can ensure a high level of security. Safety containers differ from secure containers by the following safety equipments :
• An internal wire mesh flame arrester is fitted into the spout and prevents flames to enter into the container.
• A pressure relief prevents any risk of explosion.
• Normalised labels allow separating and recognizing the different products and therefore avoid possible risk of confusion.
The containers with UN label are certified for road transport of dangerous liquids.
