Storage and Warehousing

Hazmat Safety Priorities for Storage and Warehousing:

Health, Safety, Security, and Sustainability Risks

Beyond regulatory compliance, the storage or warehousing of hazardous/dangerous goods carries Health, Safety, Security and Sustainability risks requiring management at a corporate level, including:

• People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR) risks
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks
• Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks 
• Responsible Care® risks
• Business Continuity (BC) Risks

Organizations involved in the storage or warehousing of goods with classifiable hazards under the supply regulations and/or the Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods transport regulations (under one or more modes) have the responsibility of complying with various regulations surrounding the safe handling of chemicals, training of their staff and, incident preparedness, response and recovery.
