Several principles are essential for safe storage:
1. Segregation: Store incompatible chemicals separately to prevent dangerous reactions. 2. Labeling: Clearly label all containers with the chemical name, hazard class, and date received. 3. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in storage areas to avoid the buildup of toxic fumes. 4. Temperature Control: Store chemicals at recommended temperatures to maintain stability and reduce the risk of reactions. 5. Security: Restrict access to storage areas to authorized personnel only.
