Chemical Warehousing

Chemical warehousing involves the storage of regulated and hazardous chemicals in designated locations. These facilities are typically used by pharmaceutical companies to store chemicals safely.

According to the law, safety measures are to be put in place to reduce and eliminate any risks to warehouse employees.

How Haulx Chemical Warehouse Ensures Safe Storage

To ensure safe storage of chemicals, our chemical warehousing adheres to the following procedures.

Bunded Floors & Spill Decks

To guard against chemical spillage, two features are installed:

Bunded Floors

A bund is a constructed barrier that resembles speed bumps. They are used to contain chemical spills.

Spill Decks

These elevated platforms act as trays to catch chemical spillage. Together with preventing possible leakage, it speeds up the process of cleaning-up.

Designated Areas For Inspection & Transfers

Inspection Area

When chemicals arrive at a warehouse, containers and safety data have to be checked. The inspection area provides a safe place for this.

Bunded Area for Chemical Transfers

After passing checks, containers are transferred to the warehouse. Bunded flooring is utilised to manage spillage as the likelihood is at its highest.

Classified Storage

There are a few classifications of chemicals that warehouses have to be aware of.

Explosive
Oxidising
Flammable groups (liquids, solids, gases)
Toxic chemicals
Corrosive chemicals

Each classification has unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, we store them based on their classifications to prevent any interaction between incompatible chemicals that may trigger additional hazards.

If not handled and stored properly, chemicals are harmful to health when inhaled, ingested or when they come into contact with skin and eyes.

Safety Protection Measures

All chemical warehouses are required by law to have safety equipment and an emergency response plan.

Safety Equipment & Measures

Our safety equipment include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for staff, spill kits, emergency showers, eyewashes and fire dampening measures
Staff have been trained to use all equipment
Equipment regularly maintained to ensure functionality.

Emergency Evacuation Plan

All staff are briefed on the emergency evacuation plan and where the emergency exits are located.
Exits are not blocked.

Limit Operation Of Machinery

As heavy machinery is a norm at Haulx, we take additional safety precautions:

Storing keys at a secure location accessible only to drivers.
Planning routes for machinery to move about the warehouse.
Enforcing speed limits.

Secure Chemical Storage Areas

Untrained employees are not permitted to enter chemical storage areas.

In addition, security cameras and fences are installed to prevent trespassers.
