HOME PAGESCHEMICAL STORAGE
The proper storage of hazardous materials is a key component in accident prevention.
Flammable and Combustible Materials
The Management
of Flammable and Combustible Materials is critically important to ensure
that these materials are properly used, stored, and disposed of.
Flammable and combustible materials are widely used across campus from the
art department (paint remover/thinner and photography developing chemicals),
the science department (preservative alcohols and chemistry solvents) to the
physical plant (gasoline, paint, and parts cleaner). Click on the link
above (first line) for more information.
Chemical Compatibility
More information will soon be available on this web site regarding chemical
compatibility and concerns related to improper chemical storage. In
the interim, the following resources are external links
to proper chemical storage guidance:
A Method for Determining the Compatibility of Chemical Mixtures - US EPA
Chemical Storage Recommendations - Science Lab.com
