Segregation and Storage
Segregate incompatibles and store by hazard class. Recommended general hazard classes
for storage are:

2.
Acids (mineral).
3.
Flammables (including organic acids).
4.
Poisons (toxics).
5.
Oxidizers.
6.
Water reactives.

General Guidelines
1. Keep flammables by themselves in Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or Factory Mutual
(FM) approved safety cans or cabinets.
2.
Keep acids away from bases.
3. Separate organics from inorganics.
4. Store oxidizers away from flammables.
5. Provide as much physical separation as possible between classes.
6. Biohazards should be properly labeled and may be stored as one group.
