Checklist for a Chemical Storage Audit

Don't overlook that some types of chemical storage falls under OSHA. For example 29 CFR 1910.106 ? Flammable and Combustible Liquids. Also see NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code.

NFPA 30 (specifically the 1969 version) is incorporated by reference within 1910.106 and is therefore, legally enforceable by OSHA. While only the 1969 version is the bare minimum enforceable, complying to the many, more recent versions will also pertain.

These go into what materials may / may not be stored together, specifications for storage cabinets as well as dispensing containers and portable storage containers.

Hope this helps.
