NOTE: Store flammables in a storage cabinet for flammable liquids or
in safety cans. Separate chemicals into their organic families and these
related and compatible groups, as shown. Separation of chemical groups
can be by different shelves within the same cabinet. DO NOT store chemicals
alphabetically as a general group. This may result in incompatibles
appearing together on a shelf. Rather, store alphabetically within a
compatible group. This listing is only a suggested method of arranging
chemical materials for storage and is not intended to be complete. |
