Risk assessment: Based on the nature of hazardous materials, conduct a risk assessment to determine their special requirements for storage, handling, packaging, etc., and develop corresponding safety operating procedures.
Facility inspection: Check whether the fire prevention, explosion prevention, leak prevention and other facilities in the warehouse are intact, and ensure that the hazardous material storage area meets safety standards.
Personnel training: Provide training on dangerous goods safety knowledge to warehouse staff, enabling them to understand the nature, hazards, emergency measures, etc. of dangerous goods, ensuring that they can handle them correctly and safely.
2, Dangerous goods storage management
Classified storage: According to the nature of hazardous materials, they are classified and stored in designated areas to avoid danger caused by contact between hazardous materials of different properties.
Clear identification: Clear warning signs should be set up in the hazardous material storage area, indicating the name, nature, hazard level, emergency measures, and other information of the hazardous material for staff to quickly identify.
Limited storage: According to the warehouse capacity and safety requirements of hazardous materials, the storage amount of hazardous materials should be reasonably controlled to avoid safety hazards caused by excessive storage.
Complete records: Establish comprehensive records of dangerous goods entering and leaving the warehouse, detailing information such as the name, quantity, source, and destination of the dangerous goods for easy tracking and management.
3, Dangerous goods handling and loading/unloading
Professional operation: The handling and loading/unloading of dangerous goods should be carried out by personnel who have received professional training to ensure standardized and safe operation.
Protective equipment: Operators must wear protective equipment that meets safety standards, such as protective clothing, gloves, goggles, etc., to prevent dangerous goods from causing harm to the human body.
Handle with care: When transporting dangerous goods, handle them with care to avoid violent collisions and friction, and prevent the leakage or explosion of dangerous goods.
Special tools: Use specialized handling tools and equipment, such as explosion-proof forklifts, explosion-proof handcarts, etc., to ensure the safety of the handling process.
4, Monitoring and management during the storage of hazardous materials
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the storage area of hazardous materials, including temperature, humidity, leakage, etc., to ensure that the hazardous materials are in a safe state.
Emergency preparedness: Develop detailed emergency plans, including response measures for sudden events such as fires, leaks, explosions, etc., to ensure prompt and effective disposal in emergency situations.
Information update: Based on the nature of hazardous materials and market changes, timely update the safety operating procedures, emergency plans, and other information of hazardous materials to ensure the timeliness of warehouse management.
Restricted access: Strictly control access permissions to hazardous material storage areas to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering and ensure the safety of hazardous materials.
5, Dangerous goods outbound management
Outbound approval: Dangerous goods outbound must go through a strict approval process to ensure accurate information such as outbound quantity and destination.
Packaging inspection: Before the dangerous goods are released from the warehouse, the packaging should be inspected to ensure that it is intact, leak free, and meets transportation requirements.
Handover record: When dangerous goods are released from the warehouse, detailed handover records must be made with the receiving party, including the name, quantity, transportation method, and other information of the dangerous goods to ensure the safety of the handover process.
Tracking feedback: After the dangerous goods are released from the warehouse, the transportation process needs to be tracked to ensure the safe arrival of the dangerous goods at the destination, and feedback from the receiving party should be collected in a timely manner to improve warehouse management.
