Eyewash location and maintenance gaps

Exothermic mixes and pressurised containers
— Add developer slowly to powder; use vented, non-sealed vessels; never cap active mixtures; avoid external heat; allow peroxide bottles to vent after shaking; never store mixed product; cool hot containers in a tray and investigate root cause.
Temperature and sunlight damage
— Store 15–25 °C away from windows; use a dedicated, labelled fridge for heat-sensitive items (no food); maintain min-max logs; move stock off radiators/sills; transport upright in cool carriers; review logs during weekly opening checks.
Inhalation exposure during mixing (dust/vapour)
