Publisher's Synopsis
Emphasizing the need for good pre-planning at storage sites and training for staff involved, this guidance booklet has been introduced following a series of incidents at storage premises over the last six years, the worst generally caused by fire. The storage of packaged dangerous substances may create serious risks, not only to persons working at a storage site, but also to the general public in the vicinity and to the environment. Different substances create different risks and it is important that the standards adopted at a particular site are based on an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of the substances concerned.
