Class 8: Corrosive Substance Storage
Corrosive substances are classified as dangerous goods as they have serious implications for people, property and the environment. Substances include acids and alkalis including sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and nitric acid. Due to the harm that corrosive substances can cause, through contact with the chemical as well as highly corrosive vapours, compliant Corrosive Substance Storage is a necessity.
Corrosive Cabinets and Outdoor Stores
According to the Australian Standard AS 3780 - The storage and handling of corrosive substances, Class 8 dangerous goods must be stored in a way that prevents leaks and spills, corrosion of storage materials, entry into the environment and reactions with incompatible substances.
Requirements for Corrosive Substance Storage
Key requirements for safe Corrosive Storage include secured entry so that unauthorised access to Class 8 chemicals is prohibited, separation and segregation to minimise harm, storage on floors which have immediate access from outside the premises, corrosion resistant materials to prevent attack on the storage equipment, sufficient ventilation to maintain workplace exposure standards, and compliant spill containment.
