The best way to store drums in your workplace will depend on a variety of factors.

When deciding on a drum storage option, ask yourself:

  • What chemicals are being stored?
  • How many drums need to be stored?
  • Will the drums be stored indoors or outdoors?
  • How easy does access to the drums need to be?

You’ll also need to keep drum storage separate from certain other storage units on site.

For example, drums containing oil should not be kept near flammable storage.

Similarly, if the stored chemical is corrosive or toxic, it may need to be kept in a COSHH cabinet.

UK businesses must conduct risk assessments to highlight potential risks of handling and storing chemicals.

Employees working in storage areas should be trained in safe handling techniques and spillage control.

Businesses must also abide by COSHH regulations when storing potentially hazardous chemicals.

These include:

  • Labelling hazardous substances with clear signage
  • Providing suitable PPE for working with dangerous chemicals
  • Storing chemicals in a secure cabinet/cage in cool and dry conditions
