Not all Dangerous Goods can be stored together, many are incompatible. They may need to have sufficient distances between them to eliminate the risk of fire, explosion, or accumulation of toxic gases from a leak or spillage, etc. This tool minimizes the risk associated with chemical storage by providing practical advice on what can be stored together and what needs to be segregated using internationally recognized guidelines. Make your workplace a safer place to work and comply with the safety laws.
Application:
This tool is only intended for use in workplaces where dangerous goods are stored. It is not intended for transport situations. It is not intended for application against open (in use) packages kept on a shelf or bench top within a laboratory/ workshop or similar situation.
The segregation chart is provided to assist persons who are responsible storing dangerous goods to better minimise the risk of storing incompatible goods.
