Storage that minimises risks.
Safe storage determines whether materials remain easy to manage – or turn into a risk. Incorrect storage is not always immediately obvious. Risks arise quietly: due to loads tipping over, incorrectly separated materials or uncontrolled movement.
Safety isn’t a matter of good luck – it’s the result of good decisions. Shelf units, cupboards, collections systems and transport solutions ensure that loads remain stable, hazardous materials are correctly separated, and movements are safe. After all, risk is part of everyday life – but accidents aren’t.
Find the right topic fast: knowledge and practice around safe storage.
Storing hazardous substances correctly: safety starts with the location
Equip a hazardous goods storage cupboard correctly – a practical checklist
Storage of hazardous substances in sump trays in accordance with regulations
Self-test: shelf unit systems and stability
- Are all shelf units designed for the actual loads (including reserves)?
- Are shelf units securely anchored or secured to stop them tipping over?
- Are loads visibly and indelibly labelled?
- Are heavy goods stored at the bottom and light goods stored at the top?
- Are shelf units free from damage or provisional repairs?
1x no?
Then you’ll need to take action when selecting or securing the shelf unit systems.
With a mind to fire protection: suitable cupboards and systems for sensitive materials
Handling lithium-ion batteries safely
Storage of flammable liquids in safety cupboards
Self-test: dangerous or able to be managed?
- Can every person immediately see what is dangerous here – and why?
- Are substances strictly separated or just “organised somehow”?
- Are there protective measures in place in case something leaks, spills or reacts?
- Was an informed decision made about the storage location – or was it chosen by chance?
- Would everyone respond correctly in an emergency?
→ More than 1x unsafe?
Then it is worth taking a close look at fire protection solutions.
