Study Notes

Chemical Storage Guidelines

  • Chemicals must be stored in solid, sturdy cabinets made of hardwood or metal to ensure safety and prevent spills or damage.
  • Storing corrosive liquids above eye level is dangerous and should be avoided to reduce the risk of accidental exposure or spills.
  • Lab fume hoods are designed to safely store chemicals, minimizing exposure and providing proper ventilation, making it advisable to keep chemicals there.

Environmental Considerations

  • Chemicals should not be exposed to heat and direct sunlight during storage, as these conditions can lead to chemical degradation, reactions, or hazardous situations.

Proper Labeling

  • Refrigerators for chemical and food storage must be clearly differentiated with labels to prevent accidental exposure to chemicals that may contaminate food.

Use of Secondary Containers
