Storage of any type of chemical is a strongly controlled process. There are various possibilities of danger if proper protocols and handling methods are not present. We’ll take a look into a few prerequisites when choosing a chemical warehouse provider:
- OSHA Compliance: OSHA requirements outline various handling, storage, and record keeping standards that chemical warehouses must comply with.
- Proper Warehouse Construction: Storage areas for sensitive corrosive materials have strict parameters to their construction such as:
- Concrete ramps at the entrance and inside
- Ventilation
- Auto sprinkler system
- Fully trained personnel: To prepare in unfortunate cases of spills, leakage, or explosions, members must have proper certification based on all levels of regulations.
- Hazmat Compliance: Warehouses must be able to provide up to date storage and shipment records on all chemicals.
- Transparency: An exceptional provider will allow for 24/7 transparency and visibility, easily being able to integrate their system with yours.
