Dangerous Goods Storage

Safe and compliant storage of hazardous materials isn’t just a best practice. It’s essential. When choosing dangerous goods storage containers, you must factor in compliance, segregation, spill risk, environmental concerns and how people interact with the stored goods. Every site and every application brings its own risks, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

If you’re not confident with the requirements, speak with experts. You may even need to bring in a qualified dangerous goods consultant. One oversight could put your team, property and environmental obligations at serious risk.

Correctly storing dangerous goods helps protect people, property and the planet. It may also be required under your insurance cover.
