1, Site selection and layout
Stay away from sensitive areas: Dangerous goods warehouses should be located away from densely populated areas such as residential areas, commercial centers, schools, hospitals, and important facilities to reduce potential risks.
Suitable geological conditions: The warehouse foundation should be stable, without problems such as high groundwater level or soil erosion, to prevent the leakage of hazardous materials caused by foundation settlement or groundwater infiltration.
Good ventilation: The warehouse should have a good natural or mechanical ventilation system to ensure air circulation and reduce the accumulation of harmful gases.
Partition storage: Based on the nature, compatibility, and fire extinguishing methods of hazardous materials, the warehouse is divided into different storage areas and managed by partitions.
2, Facilities and equipment
Fire and explosion prevention facilities: The warehouse should be equipped with sufficient fire-fighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, etc., and regularly inspected and maintained. At the same time, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting systems should be installed to prevent electric sparks from causing fires or explosions.
Leakage control facilities: For hazardous materials that are prone to leakage, anti leakage trays, cofferdams, and other facilities should be installed to collect and dispose of the leaked material in a timely manner in case of leakage.
Temperature and humidity control: According to the storage requirements of hazardous materials, a temperature and humidity regulation system is set up to ensure that the temperature and humidity in the warehouse are kept within a safe range.
Security monitoring system: Install video surveillance, intrusion alarm and other security monitoring systems to monitor the warehouse 24/7, detect and handle abnormal situations in a timely manner.
3, Storage management
Classified storage: Hazardous materials are classified and stored in designated areas or shelves according to their properties, compatibility, and fire extinguishing methods to avoid contact and potential hazards.
Clear identification: Clearly label each hazardous material, including name, hazard, storage conditions, emergency measures, and other information, for identification and management purposes.
Limited storage: Based on the warehouse's capacity and safety management capabilities, the storage amount of hazardous materials should be reasonably determined to avoid excessive storage and increase safety risks.
Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the dangerous goods in the warehouse, including appearance, packaging, labeling, expiration date, etc., to ensure that the dangerous goods are in good condition.
4, Personnel training and emergency preparedness
Professional training: Provide professional training to warehouse managers and operators to understand the nature of hazardous materials, storage requirements, emergency measures, and other knowledge, and improve safety awareness and operational skills.
Emergency drills: Regularly organize emergency drills to simulate dangerous goods leaks, fires, and other emergency situations, test the feasibility and effectiveness of emergency plans, and improve emergency response capabilities.
Emergency material preparation: Reserve necessary emergency materials, such as protective clothing, gas masks, first aid drugs, etc., for use in emergency situations.
5, Compliance with laws and regulations
Compliance with laws and regulations: Strictly abide by the national laws, regulations, and standard requirements for the storage of dangerous goods, ensuring that the storage process is legal and compliant.
Accept supervision: Actively accept supervision and inspection from relevant government departments, and promptly rectify existing problems and hidden dangers.
