| Chemical Storage — Are all of the
chemical stored in your storage or dispensing area compatible? The MSDS and label
will identify the storage and compatibility requirements. Sometimes we look at the
MSDS for health, fire, and reactivity requirements and forget to check compatibility.
Also, is there strict control over who can place chemicals in storage to prevent
the inadvertent storage or mixing of incompatible chemicals? |
