Working with Dangerous Goods – Safe Storage Picture This

The chemical barrels are stacked haphazardly and unevenly, creating a serious risk of collapse, spillage, or injury. Some containers appear unstable, and there’s no visible secondary containment or signage indicating the nature of the substances. This poses risks of leaks, chemical exposure, and physical injury from falling drums.

Dangerous goods must be stored securely on flat, stable surfaces, using proper stacking techniques. Barrels should be clearly labeled, separated by compatibility, and placed in designated, ventilated areas with secondary containment. Use racks or containment pallets to prevent rolling or toppling. Regularly inspect storage areas for leaks, corrosion, and compliance with hazardous material regulations.
