Chemical Storage

Product labeling practices emphasize the importance of properly storing chemicals to eliminate the chance of mixing of incompatible substances. One effective way to minimize a chemical accident is to isolate chemical hazards. Chemical compatibility and security are critical when making storage decisions. The links below provide additional information on good chemical storage practices, chemical classification segregation (which chemical classes are compatible for storage), and a list of chemicals with a corresponding classification.

If you do not find the chemical you are looking for in the current database, please complete the applicable sections of the form linked below and submit back to DOHS either by fax (831-1528) or email Kevin Eichinger or Ann Woodall . The information will be reviewed and storage recommendations forwarded.
