FREE Magnetic Dangerous Goods Segregation Chart
Every business who stores and handles Dangerous Goods has a mandatory obligation to keep incompatible substances apart. When incompatible chemicals contact each other, they can become unstable — then ignite, decompose or explode. Dangerous reactions from incompatible substances can also release toxic vapours and corrosive fumes.
ESSENTIAL: Section 356 of the WHS Regulation specifically requires you to use proper storage and segregation to keep hazardous chemicals stable.
Ensuring correct chemical segregation
To help you fulfil your WHS obligations (and keep your workplace safe) we’ve created a quick guide to chemical compatibility and segregation. It’s a fully magnetised Dangerous Goods Segregation Chart which uses easy-to-follow icons to help you quickly identify incompatible substances — and reinforce chemical safety to the people that actually use and handle the chemicals. Segregating chemicals isn’t just about storage, your people also need to be aware of chemical incompatibly hazards during:
-
-
-
- Maintenance, cleaning, and construction work.
- Decanting and fuel transfer.
- Intake of chemical orders.
- Chemical spills.
That’s why the chart is fully magnetised — so you can stick it on your chemical cabinet, next to your desk or any place close to your chemicals. Use our segregation chart during your next risk assessment, staff meeting or toolbox talk.
