What are dangerous goods in a warehouse?

1, Classification of dangerous goods in warehouses
Dangerous goods in warehouses are usually classified into the following categories based on their properties and potential hazards:
Explosive materials: such as explosives, detonators, fireworks and firecrackers, etc. These substances are prone to explode when subjected to certain stimuli (such as high temperature, impact), producing enormous destructive power.
Flammable liquids and solids, such as gasoline, diesel, alcohol, rosin, etc., are easy to burn and have a fast burning speed, intense fire, and can easily cause fires.
Oxidants and organic peroxides, such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, etc., can react violently with combustibles and even cause explosions.
Toxic substances: including cyanide, pesticides, heavy metal salts, etc., they have strong toxic effects on humans or animals, and may even be fatal.
Corrosive substances: such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc. These substances can corrode metals, skin, fabrics, etc., causing serious damage.
Radioactive substances: such as uranium, radium, and other radioactive elements and their compounds, which can spontaneously emit radiation and pose a long-term threat to human health and the environment.
Infectious substances: such as viruses, bacteria, and other microbial samples, although not directly causing physical or chemical harm, may lead to disease transmission.
Miscellaneous dangerous goods: including magnetic substances, battery packs, etc. Although these substances do not belong to the clear classification mentioned above, they also need special management due to their specific properties (such as strong magnetism that may interfere with electronic devices).
2, The Importance of Dangerous Goods Management in Warehouses
Ensuring personnel safety: Effective hazardous material management can prevent accidents caused by improper operation or storage conditions, and ensure the safety of warehouse staff and surrounding residents.
Reduce property damage: Once dangerous goods in the warehouse get out of control, it may not only directly burn down the warehouse facilities, but also trigger a chain reaction, causing more extensive property damage.
Protecting the environment: Many dangerous goods can produce toxic and harmful substances after leakage or combustion, causing pollution to soil, water sources, and air, and long-term impact on the ecological environment.
Compliance with laws and regulations: Each country has established strict laws and regulations on the management of dangerous goods. As an important distribution center for dangerous goods, warehouses must strictly comply with relevant regulations to avoid illegal risks.
3, Management Measures for Dangerous Goods in Warehouse
Classified storage: Based on the nature and compatibility of hazardous materials, plan the warehouse layout reasonably, ensure that various hazardous materials are stored in different zones, and avoid mutual reactions.
Clear identification: Clearly label each type of hazardous material, including name, hazard, emergency measures, and other information, for easy identification and management.
Strictly control temperature and humidity: Adjust the warehouse temperature and humidity according to the storage requirements of hazardous materials to ensure a safe storage environment.
Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect warehouse facilities and hazardous materials, promptly identify and address safety hazards, and ensure that storage conditions meet requirements.
Training and Education: Strengthen the safety awareness education of warehouse staff, improve their ability to identify hazards and respond to emergencies.
Emergency plan: Develop detailed emergency plans, including measures to respond to emergencies such as fires and leaks, to ensure prompt and effective disposal in the event of an accident.
