Ducted or Ductless Chemical Storage: Which One Is Suitable?
Sometimes chemical storage isn’t a priority on the lab installation and often treated as secondary planning. In reality, chemical storage is one of the most common contributors to accidents at the laboratory such as chemical spills and leaks, fires and explosions, and poisoning. As we know, chemical storage has 2 types, ducted and ductless chemical storage. Choosing between both types is not a technical decision; it’s a safety, compliance, and daily lab operation. Understanding the differences between these two systems helps laboratories create […]
Why Must Each Chemical Content Be Separated for Storage?
If we are talking about chemical placements, many labs still keep their chemicals together alphabetically, or simply on whichever shelf has space, but this might turn into chemical hazard. That is why chemical storage plays a critical role in maintaining safety and preventing accidents. Separating chemicals by type such as acids, flammables, and hazardous materials may seem like extra work at first, but it significantly reduces risk and enhances overall lab safety. To […]
