Chemical Storage: Categories, Hazards And Compatibilities

1. Labeling for Hazardous Material
<ol>
	<li>Collect information on hazards from applicable sections of the safety data sheet (SDS) for the chemical. Some SDSs may even provide the NFPA 704 diamond symbol with hazard rating numbers filled in already.</li>
	<li>If the SDS does not provide a NFPA diamond label for the chemical, the information may be obtained under the following sections of the SDS: 
	&#8226; Health hazard information under Section 11 
	&#8226; Flammability information under Section 9 
	&#8226; Instability information under Section 10 
	&#8226; Special information under Section 9, 10, 11 
	Check other sections of the SDS for additional information.</li>
	<li>Compare the SDS criteria with the current edition copy of NFPA 704 criteria shown in: 
	&#8226; Table 5.2 Degrees of Health Hazards 
	&#8226; Table 6.2 Degrees of Flammability Hazards 
	&#8226; Table 7.2 Degrees of Instability Hazards 
	&#8226; Table 8.2 Degrees of Special Hazards</li>
	<li>Once the numbers for the degree of hazard associated with the criteria are determined, place in the correct quadrant of NFPA 704 placard.</li>
	<li>The Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 requires all manufacturers, importers, and distributers of hazardous materials to label chemicals with the following information: product identifier, signal word, hazard statement(s), precautionary statement(s) and pictogram(s), and name, address and telephone number of the material manufacturer, importer or distributer.</li>
	<li>The product identifier can include the name and alternate names of the material, a code, such as the CAS number, and the product batch number.</li>
	<li>The signal word is to indicate the level of the hazard and can only be &#39;warning&#39; or &#39;danger&#39;. &#39;Warning&#39; means less severe, &#39;danger&#39; means more severe.</li>
	<li>A hazard statement describes the hazard of the material. Hazard statements are always written the same for a given hazard, for example, &#39;May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled&#39;. The only acceptable alterations to hazard statements are if multiple hazard statements are combined to improve readability.</li>
	<li>There are four types of precautionary statements: prevention, response, storage, and disposal. A prevention precautionary statement is aimed at minimizing risk, for example, &#39;handle under inert gas&#39;. A response precautionary state is included in the case of a spill or exposure to the material, for example, &#39;take off immediately all contaminated clothing&#39;. An example of a storage precautionary statement is &#39;protect from sunlight&#39;. An example of a disposal precautionary statement is &#39;dispose of contents/container to comply with applicable local, national and international regulation.&#39;</li>
</ol>
2. Segregate Incompatible Chemicals
<ol>
	<li>Chemicals should always be segregated and stored according to their incompatible chemical and physical characteristics. Basic hazard groups include:
	<ol>
		<li>Acids</li>
		<li>Bases</li>
		<li>Flammables</li>
		<li>Oxidizers</li>
		<li>Toxics</li>
		<li>Peroxide forming chemicals</li>
		<li>Pyrophoric forming substances</li>
		<li>Water reactive chemicals</li>
		<li>Explosives</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Below are some common hazard groups to segregate:
	<ol>
		<li>No acids with bases</li>
		<li>No bases with acids</li>
		<li>No acids or bases with flammables</li>
		<li>No oxidizers near compressed flammable gases</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Incompatible chemicals must not be stored in close proximity to each other. In an emergency situation of a fire, earthquake or a spill, incompatible chemicals could mix and react to cause toxic fume production or an explosion.</li>
</ol>
3. Chemical Storage Method
<ol>
	<li>Chemicals should be stored according to their incompatible chemical and physical characteristics. Alphabetical storage may be used within a compatible chemical group but never as a chemical storage plan for an entire inventory.</li>
	<li>Chemicals must be stored in accordance to the manufacturer&#39;s directions or SDS instructions.</li>
	<li>Liquid chemicals should not be stored over shoulder height to ensure easy access and handling and be stored in chemically resistant secondary containers in case there is a leak or spill.</li>
	<li>Chemicals containers should be stored with closed and properly fitted caps.</li>
	<li>Acids and bases should be stored separately and stored in acid cabinets or on protected shelves which are not metal in order to avoid corrosion</li>
	<li>Flammable and combustible chemicals must be stored in approved flammable storage cabinets and kept away from any ignition source, oxidizers, or corrosives. Flammable storage cabinets should be properly vented into the building&#39;s dedicated vent system. Laboratory-grade flammable-safe refrigerators should be used when flammable chemicals require refrigeration. Do not store food or beverages in the laboratory refrigerator.</li>
	<li>Toxic chemicals should be stored in a ventilated, cool, and dry area.</li>
	<li>Peroxide forming chemicals must be dated upon delivery and opening, and must be disposed before the expected date of initial peroxide formation and be stored in a dark, cool, and dry area.</li>
	<li>Air and water must be removed rigorously from containers of pyrophoric forming substances and should be stored away from flammables in a cool and dry area.</li>
	<li>Explosives should be stored away from all other chemicals in a secure location and away from shock or friction.</li>
</ol>
4. Safety Data Sheets
Note: The purpose of the SDS is to provide an easy to understand, standardized document that informs the user of important information regarding the material. OSHA requires manufacturers, distributors, and importers to provide SDSs to end-users of hazardous materials (Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200(g)). The SDS is a 16 section document containing details on properties, hazards, storage and transport, regulatory status, protective measures, and emergency procedures. The following is an outline of the 16 sections in an SDS.

Research laboratories often contain many chemicals that may pose distinct hazards to our health and well-being. Proper storage, maintenance, and labeling of these chemicals can help prevent accidents and provide a safe working environment. While the list of chemicals may vary by laboratory and experiments, this document provides a basic guideline to storing and maintaining chemicals, and using the SDS to properly handle chemicals. Specific hazard assessment may reveal more specialized and additional storage requirements.

While the use of various chemicals in experimental research is essential, it is also important to safely store and maintain them as a part of the Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) program. The properties of chemicals and their reactivity vary broadly and if chemicals are not managed, stored, and labeled properly, they can have harmful or even destructive consequences such as toxic fume production, fire or explosion, which may result in human fatality, property damage or environmental hazards. Therefore, an appropriate chemical label should identify the material and list the associated hazards, and users should have knowledge of how to read chemical labels and safety data sheets (SDS). Proper chemical storage must meet OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Association) standards and this can prevent most chemical reactivity hazards.

Safe laboratories require proper handling of hazardous chemicals, including appropriate labeling and storage.Many types of chemicals are important for scientific research, thus it is crucial to know their properties and potential dangers. Chemicals may interact dangerously, and must be properly segregated and stored. Fire and safety organizations have strict standards for labeling, segregation, and storage, which can prevent hazards in the lab.This video will illustrate how to evaluate, label, and store laboratory chemicals. For identification and safety purposes, all chemicals must have labels with certain information. First, a product identifier shows the name and any alternatives of the chemical. A signal word indicates the level of hazard if one exists, and will either be 'warning,' for less severe hazards, or 'danger,' for more severe ones.Further, the hazard statement describes the hazard, while the precautionary statements describe how to prevent risk, respond to exposure, and store and dispose the material. Hazard pictograms depict a specific type of hazard, like corrosion or aquatic toxicity. Lastly, contact information of the provider is shown.Chemicals can additionally be labeled with the NFPA 704 diamond symbol. The blue quadrant contains the degree of health hazard, red the flammability hazard, yellow the reactivity hazard, and the white quadrant special hazards. Hazards are rated from 0, no hazard, to 4, severe risk. The special diamond may contain additional symbols indicating the type of hazard.For detailed information about a chemical, read its associated 16-section Safety Data Sheet, or SDS. General information on a substance is found in section 1 through 3; its name and alternatives, hazard, and composition. Sections 4 through 6 provide emergency procedures in case of exposure, fire, or accidental release. Section 7 has information on handling and storage, and section 8 outlines protective equipment needed.Sections 9 through 11 contain other important information about the substance-its physical and chemical properties, its stability and reactivity, and its toxicity. Sections 12 through 15 containing details about ecological impact, disposal considerations, transport requirements, and regulatory information, are not required to be in the SDS. Lastly, section 16 includes any other pertinent information about the substance.After assessing their hazards, you should store chemicals with similar hazards together. Common hazard groups include acids, bases, flammables, oxidizers, toxics, peroxide-forming substances, pyrophoric-forming substances, water-reactive chemicals, and explosives. Each of these groups has specific storage requirements, which can prevent dangerous situations.Additionally, some groups when mixed together form toxic fumes, or explosives. Therefore, they should be stored separately from each other, to prevent accidental spills from having disastrous consequences.Now, we will show you how to evaluate hazards with a Safety Data Sheet, the use of NFPA 704 standard to label hazardous materials, and how to store specific types of chemicals in the laboratory. First, assess a chemical's potential hazards. Obtain the SDS when receiving or starting to work with a new chemical. If it is not packaged with the chemical or already available in the laboratory, it may be found on the provider's website. Then, read this document carefully. Hazard information can be found in section 2, including a 704 diamond in some cases.Additionally, section 9 may contain information on flammability hazards, section 10 on instability hazards, and section 11 on health hazards. Information on special hazards may be found in these sections or elsewhere in the document. Note that any special handling and storage instructions are found in section 7.With the relevant hazard information from the SDS, fill in the NFPA diamond. If there are specific numbers from the SDS, use those, otherwise use the NFPA 704 guidelines to find what number to assign to each hazardous risk.In this document, Table 5.2 has the criteria for health hazards, 6.2 for flammability hazards, 7.2 for instability hazards, and 8.2 for special hazards. With these numbers,fill in each hazard quadrant in the diamond and place on the chemical container. Now that you have assessed and labeled the potential hazards of a material, you will need to store it properly. Always store chemicals according to instructions in the SDS, and separate out materials with incompatible chemical and physical characteristics. Make sure all caps are closed and properly fitted. Also, keep food and drink away from all storage areas.For liquid storage use a chemically resistant secondary container in case there is a leak or spill. To avoid leaks dripping onto personnel, store these containers below shoulder height.Specific chemical groups have different storage requirements. Store acids and bases separately, either in acid and base cabinets, or on protected non-metal shelves. Toxic chemicals should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Date peroxide-forming chemicals on arrival and place in a dark, cool, and dry area. Dispose of them before the expected date of initial peroxide formation.Pyrophoric-forming substances can ignite on contact with air and water, so purge them vigorously with inert gas. For more details on this procedure, watch our video on degassing liquids. Keep these chemicals away from flammables, oxidizers, and water, and store under inert atmosphere such as a glove box or glove bag.Flammable and combustible chemicals require special care. Store these in approved storage cabinets, which are properly vented into a dedicated system. If they need to be refrigerated, use a laboratory-grade flammable-safe refrigerator. Keep this type of chemicals away from acids and bases, ignition sources, oxidizers, and corrosives.Lastly, store explosives away from all other chemicals in a secure location, away from shock or friction. Take special care when handling explosive materials.There are other groups of chemicals with additional storage considerations. Be sure to always check the SDS for any detailed storage instructions, and make sure the lab can handle storage of such materials. You've just watched JoVE's introduction to chemical labeling and storage. You should now understand the proper methods to indicate potential hazards, store chemicals, and prevent dangerous interactions. Thanks for watching!

safe chemical labels and storage basics

Safe chemical storage and labeling help prevent dangerous reactions in school and research labs. Chemicals can vary widely in their properties and reactivity, so they must be managed, stored, and labeled correctly as part of an Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) program.

If chemicals are not handled properly, they can create harmful or even destructive results. These risks include toxic fume production, fire, explosion, human fatality, property damage, and environmental hazards. Proper storage reduces many of these chemical reactivity hazards.

A chemical label should identify the material and list the associated hazards. Users also need to know how to read chemical labels and safety data sheets, or SDS. Safe storage should follow OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Association) standards.

Safe Chemical Labels and Storage Basics

proper personal protective equipment

Choosing the Right Lab PPE

Choosing the right lab PPE is a key part of working safely in a laboratory. PPE, or personal protective equipment, helps reduce risk when hazards are present. Laboratory hazards can be many and varied. The right choice of PPE helps make the lab a safe place to work. Students should match their protective gear to the tasks and conditions in the lab. This topic focuses on selecting proper protection for the situation at hand. Wearing the correct PPE supports safer lab work and helps limit...

emergency eyewash and shower stations

Laboratory Chemical Spill Response Stations

Laboratory chemical spill response stations help protect people who are exposed to injurious or corrosive substances. In workplaces and school labs, OSHA requires emergency eyewash and shower stations to be easy to reach when these hazards are present. These stations are used after an accident that spills a harmful chemical on the body or splashes it into the eyes. The eyewash station helps rinse the eyes, while the shower station is used for chemicals on the skin or clothing. They are meant...

electrical safety

Preventing Lab Electric Shock and Fires

Electrical hazards are a common lab safety concern. Most laboratory equipment uses electricity to work, so students and lab staff must stay alert around cords, plugs, and powered devices. Improper use of electrical equipment can cause electric shock. In serious cases, this can lead to injury or death. Electrical sparks are also dangerous in the lab. They can start a fire or trigger an explosion. This risk matters because many flammable chemicals may be stored near powered instruments. Knowing...

working with centrifuges

Centrifuge Safety and Sample Separation

Centrifuges are used to separate heterogeneous mixtures by spinning particles in a fluid at high speed. The motion creates a force away from the axis of rotation. Heavier particles move faster toward the bottom of the sample holder, and the rate depends on particle size and density. This process is called centrifugation, and it speeds up sedimentation, which is the settling of particles out of a liquid. Gravity can separate some mixtures on its own, but that can take a long time.

working with hot and cold sources

Safe Use of Lab Heat and Cold Sources

Safe use of lab heat and cold sources is an important part of laboratory work. Extreme temperatures are common in many lab tasks. They can involve both high heat and very low temperatures. Bunsen burners and hot plates are widely used in research labs and industry. A Bunsen burner is a gas burner that gives a direct flame. A hot plate is an electric device that warms containers without an open flame. Because these tools reach high temperatures, users need to follow safe handling procedures. <br...

safe handling of mineral acids

Mineral Acids in the Lab

Mineral acids are common chemicals in research laboratories, and they must be handled with care. These acids, also called inorganic acids, are water-soluble acids formed from inorganic minerals by chemical reaction. Their corrosive nature makes them a major safety risk in the lab. Examples of mineral acids include boric acid, chromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid. These acids are important reagents in research, and...

handling chemical spills

Chemical Spill Safety in the Lab

Chemical spill safety in the lab is essential whenever hazardous chemicals are used. Spills can happen at any time during laboratory work. Even a small spill can become dangerous if people are not prepared to respond quickly and correctly. Preparing for a chemical spill helps protect public health and the environment. Lab teams need to know how to respond to accidental releases of hazardous chemicals before an emergency happens. Safe cleanup also depends on proper disposal of the spilled...

proper use of autoclaves

Autoclaving Lab Materials Safely

Autoclaving lab materials safely is an important part of decontamination in the laboratory. This method is commonly used for items that have contacted biological samples, especially those that may contain microorganisms. An autoclave cleans materials with pressurized steam at a high temperature. The steam and heat work together to kill microorganisms on the loaded items. For this reason, effective autoclaving depends on good steam flow and strong heat transfer. Packaging matters because it...

fume hoods and laminar flow cabinets

Airflow Controls for Safer Lab Workspaces

Fume hoods and laminar flow cabinets are airflow controls used in laboratories. They both rely on a constant stream of air to protect the lab environment and the people in it. These systems work in similar ways, but they serve different purposes. A fume hood is a ventilation system that helps reduce exposure to hazardous vapors, fumes, and particles. Air is drawn into the hood opening, which helps keep harmful substances inside the workspace. The air is then pulled out through the exhaust. A...

handling air- and water-sensitive chemicals using a schlenk line

handling-air-and-water-sensitive-chemicals-using-a-schlenk-line

Schlenk Line Setup for Inert Atmospheres

A Schlenk line helps chemists work with air- and water-sensitive chemicals. It provides an air-free way to handle reagents that can react with oxygen or moisture. This makes it useful in a chemical laboratory when careful control of the atmosphere is needed. The glass apparatus is commonly used because it can create an inert gas environment or a vacuum. Inert gases such as nitrogen and argon can be used to protect the reaction. The same setup can also expose glassware to vacuum when needed. A...

proper operation of vacuum based equipment

proper-operation-of-vacuum-based-equipment

Vacuum Pumps for Laboratory Procedures

Vacuum pumps are used in many laboratory procedures that need low pressure. They help create vacuum conditions for experiments and equipment that must run below normal atmospheric pressure. In the lab, vacuum pumps are the most common way to achieve this low-pressure environment. They can also support rapid changes in the atmosphere inside a reactor or flask. This is done by evacuating the vessel and then backfilling it with another gas.

operating the glovebox

Glovebox Atmosphere and Sample Transfer

A glovebox is an enclosed workspace that keeps an inert atmosphere inside. Scientists use built-in gloves to handle chemicals or equipment without exposing the inside of the box to outside air. The box uses positive pressure to help make up for small passive leaks. Objects can be moved in and out through an antechamber, which works like an airlock between the glovebox and the outside atmosphere. Some gloveboxes have more than one pair of gloves. The number of glove ports depends on the size...

operation of high-pressure reactor vessels

operation-of-high-pressure-reactor-vessels

Safe Use of Pressure Vessels in Chemistry

High-pressure reactor vessels are used in synthetic chemistry to handle gases safely during reactions. They help chemists carry out gas-based processes such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and amination. These reactions often use hydrogen, oxygen, or ammonia, which are important reagents in the lab. These gases usually dissolve poorly in standard reaction mixtures. Because of that, high pressure is needed to make the reaction proceed at a useful rate. The vessel creates a sealed space that keeps...

decontamination for laboratory biosafety

Lab Cleaning Methods for Biosafety

Laboratory cleaning methods are a key part of biosafety because microbial contamination can build up and spread disease. Decontamination is used to reduce that risk on lab surfaces and equipment. The level of cleaning depends on how much contamination is present and what kind of item needs treatment. Decontamination can be grouped into disinfection and sterilization. Disinfection removes pathogenic microorganisms, but it does not remove bacterial spores on lab surfaces or equipment.

proper waste disposal

Lab Waste Management and Safety

Lab waste management and safety are essential parts of any laboratory activity. Waste generated during work must be handled correctly from the moment it is created until it reaches its final offsite disposal facility. Poor waste disposal can seriously harm public health and the environment. A waste management system should be planned before any lab work begins. This system guides how waste is collected, stored, and prepared for removal. For hazardous waste, special rules apply because its...
