Store chemicals in correctly-labelled containers with the appropriate hazard warnings clearly identified
Store chemicals as advised by the supplier. If in doubt, store in a cool, dark place. Do not store chemicals in bright sunlight or above eye-level wherever possible
Store hazardous volatile chemicals in a fire-proof cabinet or if non-flammable, or if in very small amounts, in a fume cupboardFlammable solvents with flashpoints below 32° (e.g. acetone, isoamyl alcohol, butanols, ethanol, diethyl ether, petroleum ether, propanols) must not be stored in bottles of more than 500 ml unless in a fire-proof cabinet. All flammables should be put away in the fire-proof cabinet at the end of the working day wherever possible
At intervals check your chemical stocks. Look out for unwanted chemicals, containers with decaying or peeling labels, signs of deterioration, etc. Dispose of unwanted chemicals properly.
