Typical hazards & measures
Incompatible storage of oxidisers and reducers
— Segregate oxidisers, reducers and acids on labelled shelves with non-reactive trays; keep from combustibles and sunlight; store below eye level; inspect weekly for leaks, corrosion or swelling, and quarantine any suspect container pending investigation.
Expired or degraded chemicals
— Operate FEFO rotation; record batch/expiry on receipt; run monthly checks; quarantine discoloured, gassing or pressurised bottles; never mix old with new; document withdrawals and adjust par levels to prevent over-stocking and silent degradation.
Incompatible chemical mixing
— Post a “do-not-mix” chart (e.g., bleach with acids/ammonia/chlorine); colour-code tools for oxidisers vs reducers; keep separate trolleys; never reuse decant cups across families; double-check labels aloud before combining any components.
Waste segregation and disposal non-compliance
— Label waste as oxidiser, solvent or general; use closed, compatible containers; never pour bulk actives to drain; retain collection manifests; train staff on streams; audit monthly and action any variance within 24 h.
Static ignition during solvent transfer
— Eliminate flames/sparks; pour slowly with continuous container contact; avoid dry plastic funnels; use anti-static mats and keep room RH ≥40%; if using metal containers, bond/ground per guidance; lid immediately after pour.
