Chemical and COSHH Stores
Government guidance stipulates that the storage of Pesticides, Fertilisers, Flammables, and Chemicals should protect against harm to humans, animal health, and the environment. With the added element of concerns about security, many companies are re-assessing where they store these items to ensure their stores are not only secure but also comply to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
Stores should be resistant to fire, capable of retaining leakage/spillage, be dry, frost-free, be adequately ventilated, and secure against unauthorized access.
