Storage Area Condition and Access

Access to hazardous material storage is controlled and limited to trained or authorized personnel only.
No blocked exits, blocked access to stored materials, or trip hazards in the storage area.
Drums, bottles, and other containers are positioned to prevent tipping, falling, or rolling.
Flammables and other ignition-sensitive materials are not stored near open flames, hot surfaces, sparking equipment, or unapproved electrical devices.
Spills, residues, dust, and debris are cleaned promptly and do not accumulate in or around storage containers.

Segregation and Compatibility

Acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, toxics, and reactive materials are separated according to compatibility requirements.
Flammable liquids are stored in approved flammable storage cabinets or other compliant locations as applicable.
Oxidizing materials are not stored with combustible materials, paper products, or flammable liquids.
Corrosive acids and bases are separated to reduce the risk of violent reactions and container degradation.
Materials that react with water or air are stored in conditions that prevent exposure to moisture or incompatible atmospheres.

Containment and Container Integrity

Inspect drums, bottles, cans, and totes for signs of leakage, swelling, rust, cracks, or deterioration.
Containment trays, berms, or spill pallets are used where needed to capture leaks or releases from stored materials.
Containment systems are maintained so they can function as intended and are not filled with incompatible liquids or debris.
Lids, caps, bungs, and dispensing closures are secured except during active transfer or use.
Racks and shelving are structurally sound, appropriately rated, and not visibly damaged or overloaded.

Labeling, SDS, and Identification

Primary and secondary containers are labeled so the contents and hazards can be readily identified.
Labels remain readable, securely attached, and free from fading, peeling, or chemical damage.
Current SDS are available to employees and responders for the hazardous materials stored in the area.
The inventory or storage list corresponds to the materials physically present in the area.
Area signage, NFPA diamond postings, or other required warnings are visible and appropriate for the storage location.

Spill Response Readiness and Ventilation

Spill absorbents, neutralizers, disposal bags, and tools are available for the types and quantities of materials stored.
Consumables are present in usable quantities and any date-sensitive items are current.
Emergency phone numbers, reporting steps, and response instructions are visible in or near the storage area.
Mechanical or natural ventilation is present where needed to prevent accumulation of vapors, fumes, or dust.
There is no observable buildup of fumes or odors indicating inadequate ventilation or a release condition.
