Factory Requirements • Know hazards of your chemicals (Physical and Health) • Labels • PPE • Chemical Segregation • Chemical Storage • Disposal
Chemical Segregation Factory Requirement • All chemicals and chemical waste must be segregated into categories to prevent incompatible mixtures and dangerous chemical reactions
Chemical Segregation Compatibility Chart Terminology • KEEP APART – Keep at minimum 3m apart • SEGREGATE – Keep in separate compartments of the same store separated by at least a firewall or in separate building • ISOLATE – Keep in separate building or isolate within a cabinet designed for this purpose
Chemical Segregation Segregating solvents from the following chemicals? Chemical Keep Apart Segregate Isolate Sodium Hypochlorite Acetic Acid Propane
Factory Requirements • Know hazards of your chemicals (Physical and Health) • Labels • PPE • Chemical Segregation • Chemical Storage • Disposal
Chemical Storage Factory Requirements • All chemicals and chemical waste must be properly stored to prevent accidental chemical release to the environment • Aisles and Forklift Routes are Clearly Marked to prevent chemical containers from being hit or tipped over.
Drum Storage Closure device up STACKED less than 4 high CHOCKED to prevent rolling
Secondary Containment For a Single Tank • Chemicals must have Secondary Containment to prevent an accidental release or spill kits with materials for containment and absorption • Secondary containment must be 110% of the largest volume container 200 liters 110% or 220 liters
Secondary Containment For Multiple Tanks in Single Containment 100 liters 200 liters 110% (200) or 220 liters
Chemical Spills Factory Requirements • Chemical spills are cleaned only by trained personnel. • Person assigned to do the clean-up is trained to assess the size of the spill, physical hazards of the material, the health hazards of the spilled material, and how to use the spill containment kit
Chemical Spills Factory Requirements: • Proper PPE is provided for clean up • Materials used to clean up the spill are properly disposed
Storage Area Must Have Safety shower/eye wash Chemical Storage
Signs • Storage Area Must Have Signs informing workers of required PPE
Fire Extinguisher • Storage Area Must Have a working fire hose or Fire Extinguisher in the chemical storage area
Chemical Waste Storage • Chemical waste must be labeled • Chemical waste containers must be inspected weekly for signs of leaks, corrosion, or deterioration.
