Chemicals Storage

As cleaning business, dealing with hazardous items like chemicals and infected work place is part of daily tasks. And a good cleaning company or operator should put in place a very strict work procedures and provide safe work environment that will prevent cleaners form having work related accidents.
One of the very important aspects of work safety is storing chemicals due to the severity of the damage that they might cause if they were to be stored or handled not appropriately.

General Chemical Storage Guidelines

1. Read the MSDS to determine how the chemical should be stored. Ensure that MSDS for all chemicals being used are readily available.
2. Ensure that all containers are labelled and in good condition. Date chemicals when they are purchased, especially peroxide formers.
3. Segregate incompatible chemicals according to guidelines.
4. Storage areas must be dry and well ventilated.
5. Do not store chemicals near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
6. Minimum quantities of hazardous chemicals should be stored. Dispose of chemicals that are no longer required.
7. Flammables must be stored in approved flammable liquid storage cabinets, or in approved explosion-proof refrigerators.
8. Secure gas cylinders away from heat sources and according to Compressed Gas Cylinders Standard.
9. Never store chemicals on the floor.
10. Chemical storage shelves should have a raised lip to prevent containers from falling. Secondary containers or bins should be used to limit spills should they occur.
11. Shelves should not be overloaded, and must be secured against tipping.
12. Never store liquid or corrosive chemicals above eye-level.
13. Chemical containers should be checked on a regular basis for leakage.
14. All containers must have tightly sealed caps when not in use.
15. Store chemicals close to work areas to minimize transport distance. When transporting glass containers, use secondary containment receptacles to minimize breakage and spillage if the container is dropped.
16. Prevent access to storage areas of unauthorized persons.
17. Do NOT store chemicals in fume hoods. This will reduce the effectiveness of the hood and increase the risk of spills and interaction of incompatible chemicals.

Now another issue is very important which is dealing with scented products especially indoor, can have an impact on health.
Some people have become very sensitive to certain chemicals as a result of past exposures. They can suffer a wide range of health effects such as rashes, severe headaches, nausea, dizziness and fatigue, whenever they are exposed to very low levels of chemicals in scented products.
The potential impact of chemicals in scented products on human health is magnified because people spend much of their time indoors. Most people on a daily basis use soap, shampoo, deodorant, laundry products, hair spray, lotions, cosmetics and fragrances. Many scented products are respiratory irritants. They are known triggers for asthma, allergies and migraines. Even people that do not have pre-existing health problems can have an irritation to their upper airways, eye symptoms and general malaise.
