1
Keep hazardous products out of reach of pets and children, but not so high that the risk of dropping them is increased.

2
Store materials in containers recommended by the manufacturer. Keep them away from other types of chemicals and in a cool, well-ventilated area to reduce vapor buildup.
-
3
Inspect the containers. Make sure they are labeled clearly and the containers are undamaged.
-
4
Ensure that containers are sealed when not in use to prevent spills.
-
5
Look over your storage areas regularly. Be on the lookout for leaky containers, poor ventilation and the smell of fumes.

6
Make sure shelves are made of corrosion-resistant material. It's a good idea to store containers in corrosion-resistant trays as well.
