... Process for labeling of the chemicals to ensure proper storage; and 4. Inventory process This four-part approach to chemical management will provide laboratory personnel with a safe environment, laboratory managers with a maximally utilized inventory, and emergency responders with the critical information needed to respond appropriately if there is an incident.

... Desiccant storage and inert atmosphere storage Air and/or water-sensitive chemicals Below ambient temperature storage: refrigerator or freezer Stability with temperature Designated areas and protocols for cylinder storage Compressed gases SECONDARY STORAGE REQUIREMENT After establishing the types of available storage locations, the worker will determine the second ary storage requirement. To this end, the worker must determine whether chemical segregation, such as oxidants and reductants or acids and bases, and chemical security with limited access and monitoring is needed.
