  1. Chemical Storage Activity SAND No. 2012-4331 W

  2. Activity: Chemical Storage • Find one or two partners • Use the hazard and compatibility information to optimize chemical storage • Rules: • 4 bottles per shelf maximum • Note that only one cabinet has a vent • Only one cabinet can be secured (padlock) You may have to make some compromises or hard choices • When finished, discuss the following and write comments in your workbook: • Was there one “perfect” way to store the chemicals? • Did you have to make compromises? What were they? • In making compromises, what were your main priorities?

  3. Compatible Storage Groups"Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security", National Academies Press, page 99

  4. Activity: Chemical Storage • Find one or two partners • Use the hazard and compatibility information to optimize chemical storage • Rules: • 4 bottles per shelf maximum • Note that only one cabinet has a vent • Only one cabinet can be secured (padlock) You may have to make some compromises or hard choices • When finished, discuss the following and write comments in your workbook: • Was there one “perfect” way to store the chemicals? • Did you have to make compromises? What were they? • In making compromises, what were your main priorities?

  5. Activity: Chemical Storage Conclusions • Can make chemical storage safer and more secure • Safe and secure chemical storage requires • Space • Time • Training • Equipment • Difficulties may be mitigated by operational controls • Substitution • Source reduction • Can get help from a computer/web-based inventory system that tracks hazard classes
