Storage Concept
The rules that guarantee the appropriate storage of
hazardous materials are summarized in the
storage concept, drawn up by the safety officer
of a factory.
These rules are the same for large and small companies.
Their application needs to be adapted to each situation,
in a case-by-case approach.

10
Storage Concept
General objectives
1. Matching local conditions and measures to the hazards
of stored products
2. Identification of conflicts and adjustment of storage
3. Compliance with legal requirements

General Storage Rules: Excluding Storage Incompatibilities
What are storage incompatibilities?
 Certain chemical substances when mixed together can trigger violent
and potentially hazardous reactions. Such substances are
incompatible and must not be stored together.
 The compatibility matrices on the following slides show a classification
of substances that, according to their hazardous properties, must not
be stored together (red), can be stored together under certain
conditions that have to be verified in the SDS (orange) or can usually
be stored together without disadvantages (green).

Objectives:
 Prevent human exposure and environmental contamination
 Prevent the mixing of substances and hazardous reactions
Hazardous liquid substances must be stored on a
catch basin.
24
General Storage Rules: Leakages Must Be Confined
Overflows, leakages, accidental spillage, etc. may occur.

25
Catch basins: Examples
From the smallest quantities to the largest
Bulk storage

Post-storage
Source: CSD
Container storage
Source: UNIDO

26
Catch basins: Design
 The retention capacity must provide for at least 100% of
the highest volume stored.
 The material must be adapted to the substances stored
(e.g. concrete is not suitable for solvent retention).

27
General Storage Rules
Other general rules
1. The flooring of the storage area must be impermeable. A special
coating (sealing) will often be necessary, as concrete is permeable to
many substances. This coating must be incombustible. Structural
2. The separation of the storage areas (or compartments) according to
the storage categories must be clearly identified and labelled
(flammable, toxic, corrosive, etc.). Good practice
3. Other non-hazardous materials should not be stored in the same
place (wrapping, paper, cardboard, spare parts, etc.). Good practice
4. The containers must be protected from any mechanical or thermal
influence (heat sources, object falls, pressure through weight, etc.).
Good practice

28
5. There must be one responsible person (and one substitute)
appointed for the storage area(s). Organizational
6. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be easily
available and properly maintained. Organizational
7. At least one eye shower must be installed. An emergency shower can
be necessary. Organizational
8. Store minimum quantities. Good practice
9. Control stock, i.e. first-in/first-out, move redundant stock. Good practice
10. Segregate “empties” (cylinders, sacks, drums, bottles). Good practice
11. Ensure adequate access for both normal and emergency purposes
with alternative routes. Structural/Good practice

29
12. Monitor stock, (temperature, pressure, degradation of substances,
deterioration of packaging or containers/corrosion, leakages,
condition of labels, expiry date, etc.) Good practice
13. Decontamination and first-aid provisions (neutralize/destroy, fire-
fighting). Technical
14. Appropriate gas/vapour/fume/pressure venting must be available
(e.g. flame arrestors, scrubbers, absorbers, stacks). Technical
15. Provide adequate, safe lighting. Technical
16. Limit stack heights. Generally chemicals should be stored off the
ground (e.g. to facilitate cleaning, to keep above any ingress of
water in the event of flooding).

33
3. Exclude storage incompatibilities
 Hazardous substances must be stored separately from any other
non-hazardous material, and especially from food or drugs.
 Acids and bases must not be stored together.
4. Leakages must be confined
Hazardous liquids must be stored on a catch basin in order to manage
overflow, leakage or accidental spillage. The objective of containing the
liquid and avoiding its dispersion is to prevent:

 Natural ventilation is sufficient if:
 The room has two openings directly connected to
the ambient air.
 One opening is placed at a maximum height of
10 cm above the ground.
 Each opening requires at least 20 cm2 per square
metre of floor area.
 Forced ventilation: Air extractors might be
needed to renew the air 3 to 5 times per
hour.
 Extraction from the upper or lower part of the
premises is chosen according to the gas property.
 The opening must be placed at a maximum height
of 10 cm above the ground.
Storage rooms must be properly ventilated
Source: Suva

43
 Forced ventilation is mandatory in
large warehouses where liquids
are stored in stacks on pallets.
 The air replacement frequency (3
to 5 air exchanges per hour) is
calculated based on 3 metres
elevation.
Storage rooms must be properly ventilated
Source: ECA

44
Outdoor storage
 Drums containing flammable liquids are preferably stored outdoors, so
that any flammable vapour can readily disperse. Similar considerations
may apply to the dispersion of vapours and fumes from drums
containing toxic liquids or solids. In some cases, weather protection is
provided by a roof.
 The next slide provides recommendations on outdoor storage from the
Hazardous Chemicals Handbook, including safety distances to
neighbouring buildings.
 As a comparison, the Swiss procedure for the evaluation of safety
distances is presented on the next slide but one.

Outdoor storage: International recommendations
 Label each drum and affix appropriate warnings (e.g. “Highly
Flammable”).
 Limit stack heights, e.g. 4.5 m for 200 litre drums, 5 m for drums
stored on end and 4 m on pallets.
 Segregate highly flammable liquids and mark the stacks. Classify
the area as Zone 2. Place material >15 m away from any working
building, facility building or plant and 7.5 m from plant boundaries and
boundary fences.
 Place stacks of combustible material >7.5 m away from buildings
and 4 m from plant boundary fences.
 Restrict the number of 180 litre drums to 1,500.
 Provide >5 m clearance between adjacent stacks with access on
three sides for fire fighting.

46
(Swiss Procedure)
 Access must be limited to authorized persons (a fence is mandatory,
surveillance might be needed).
 A safety distance to neighbouring buildings must be observed,
depending on the category, the volume of liquids and the risks for the
neighbourhood.

 Correct:
 Appropriate tank in terms of material and
stability
 Wrong:
 No label, no hazard warning
 No catch basin
Source: CSD

62
 Hydrochloric acid

 Correct:
 Appropriate containers
in terms of material and
stability
 Wrong:
 Direct sun
 No catch basin
 Danger is not clearly
indicated
Source: CSD

63
 Paint and flammable substances
stored in a metal cupboard in an

 Correct:
 The place of each substance is labelled.
 The cupboard is made of non-flammable
material (metal).
 Wrong:
 The labels are not standard labels
(some information is missing).
 Some containers do not have any label.
 To be checked:
 Retention capacity might not be
sufficient.
Source: CSD

64
Additional Information
 Hazardous substances are stored in different ways, usually on racks or
in stacks. As long as the storage premises are small, the type of
storage has no critical impact in case of a fire or a major accident.
 However, the larger the quantities stored, the greater influence the
type of storage premises will have on the fire (accident) event.
 The type of storage has a direct influence on the safety measures to
implement.

65
Additional Information - Storage Rooms
Type of storage Main dangers Measures
High-rack storage
- Very high influence of the packaging
(wooden pallets, cardboard, plastic films)
- Storage location not always easily accessible
- Stack effect which can lead to the rapid
propagation of a fire
- When the storage height exceeds 7.5 m, the
rules should be stricter (extinguishing
installations might be required).
Stacked storage
- Origin of the fire often inaccessible
- Collapse
- Limit the partial storage areas to 100 m2.
- Impose minimum distances of 2.5 m
between stacks.
- Limit the width per stack to a maximum of
four pallets.
- Limit the height per stack to 5 or 6 m.
Bottle storage
- Bursting of pressure vessels (especially in
case of an increase in temperature)
- Propagation of the fire by bottle or aerosol
bombs projected in the air
- Propagation of gases
- Store outdoors or in a fire compartment.
- Implement ventilation measures.
- If necessary, install a gas detector.
- If necessary, provide extinguishing
installations
- Protect against explosions.
Storage at very low
temperatures
- Frostbites
- Asphyxiation
- Gas propagation
- Explosion
- Hypothermia
- Temperature monitoring
- Storage in a fire compartment
- Ventilation measures
- Protection against explosions
- If necessary, install a gas alarm unitSource: Based on FOEN

Key messages
A Storage Concept aims at :
 Matching local conditions and measures to the
hazards of stored products
 Identifying conflicts and adjustment of storage
 Complying with legal requirements
Technical Solutions should be applied to adequately
manage storage rules. Specific rules for each
storage category should be established.
