How to store dangerous goods in the warehouse?

1, Warehouse Site Selection and Design

Geographical location selection: Dangerous goods warehouses should be located away from sensitive areas such as residential areas, schools, hospitals, as well as easily affected areas such as water sources and transportation arteries. At the same time, warehouses should be located in areas with high terrain and good drainage to avoid the impact of natural disasters such as floods.

Structural design: The warehouse should use special building materials that are explosion-proof, fireproof, and corrosion-resistant to ensure a sturdy structure that can withstand extreme situations such as explosions and fires. There should be a good ventilation system inside the warehouse to reduce the accumulation of harmful gases.

Partition and isolation: According to the nature of hazardous materials, the warehouse should be divided into different storage areas and strict isolation measures should be implemented. Flammable and explosive materials, toxic chemicals, corrosive substances, radioactive substances, etc. should be stored separately and clearly labeled and warned.

2, Storage facilities and equipment

Special shelves and containers: Dangerous goods should be stored in dedicated shelves or containers, which must be professionally designed to withstand the weight of the dangerous goods and the possible chemical reactions. For liquids and gases, containers with good sealing performance should be used for storage to prevent leakage.

Safety monitoring equipment: The warehouse should be equipped with safety monitoring equipment such as fire alarm system, video monitoring system, temperature and humidity monitoring system, etc., to monitor the environmental changes in the warehouse in real time, and promptly detect and deal with potential safety hazards.

Emergency equipment: The warehouse should be equipped with sufficient fire-fighting equipment, leak handling tools, personal protective equipment, and other emergency equipment to respond quickly and control the development of the situation in case of an emergency.

3, Dangerous goods management

Storage inspection: Before storing dangerous goods, strict inspections should be conducted, including whether the packaging is intact, whether the labels are clear, and whether the quantity matches the documents. Goods that do not meet the requirements should be refused entry into the warehouse.

Classified storage: Classify and store hazardous materials in corresponding areas based on their properties. Strict isolation measures should be implemented for items that have chemical reactions or hazards with each other to avoid accidents caused by mutual contact.

Regular inspection: Warehouse management personnel should regularly inspect hazardous materials, including whether the packaging is damaged, whether the containers are leaking, whether the labels are detached, etc. Any discovered issues should be promptly addressed to ensure the safe storage of hazardous materials.

Record management: Establish detailed records of hazardous material management, including information on inbound, outbound, inventory changes, inspection records, etc. These records should be backed up regularly and kept properly for easy access when needed.

4, Personnel training and safety education

Professional training: Warehouse management personnel and operators should receive professional training on hazardous material management, understand the nature, hazards, emergency measures, and other knowledge of hazardous materials, and master correct operational skills such as storage, handling, loading and unloading.

Safety drills: Regularly organize safety drills to simulate emergency situations such as fires and leaks, improve personnel's emergency response capabilities and self rescue and mutual aid abilities.

Safety awareness cultivation: Strengthen safety awareness education, keep personnel vigilant at all times, strictly abide by safety regulations, and avoid illegal operations.

5, Compliance with regulations and supervision

Regulatory compliance: Warehouses should strictly comply with national laws, regulations, standards, and specifications regarding the storage of hazardous materials to ensure the legality and safety of storage activities.

Supervision and Inspection: Accept supervision and inspection from relevant departments, promptly rectify any problems found, and improve the safety management level of the warehouse.
