How to use chemical preservation tools properly and safely?

To store chemicals as well as laboratory equipment safely and to ensure quality, you need to note the following rules:

• Chemical storage warehouses must undergo strict quality control. Warehouses must have appropriate structure and structure, and withstand fire and high temperatures. The wall and floor materials of the warehouse do not cause chemical reactions and are impervious to liquids. In addition, warehouses must be located far from residential areas and places with water sources such as streams, rivers, and water tanks for agriculture and residential areas.

• You need to mark prominent warning signs in the storage areas for laboratory chemicals. These symbols need to comply with the country's rules of color, geometry, and symbolism.

• The security of chemical warehouses is very important. This will prevent bad guys, thieves, or unauthorized people from abusing the chemicals.

• Near the warehouse, it is necessary to equip washing rooms so that people can conveniently use them. These washrooms need to have washing tanks, soap, and paper, towels. In addition, this room should also have fire-resistant emergency exits.

• It is recommended to equip fire extinguishers, fire prevention, and fighting means in the laboratory

• The laboratory should have a cabinet to store chemicals, avoid broken bottles and jars leading to danger, and especially must have a central laboratory table.

• Each chemical should be stored in a dedicated vial, bottle, or container. In addition, on the bottles, it is necessary to have labels and brands to avoid errors and confusion.

• Prohibited and dangerous chemicals intended for scientific research only are required to be stored in separate storage. Warehouses of prohibited and dangerous chemicals should be planned and arranged according to the groups and properties of each type of substance accordingly.
