Chemicals Storage Software

For your Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) concerning hazardous materials, stay organized and proactive with our Chemicals storage software.

The storage of hazardous materials represents a colossal challenge for many companies because of its very complex nature.

Do you know how to properly store your hazardous materials?

When chemicals have only one hazard such as flammable liquid, the task can be relatively simple. However, do you know what to do if your hazardous materials/chemicals are both flammable liquids and corrosive?

If your hazardous materials are corrosive, do you know how to distinguish whether they are acids or bases?

Which of the hazards is predominant, flammable liquids or corrosive liquids?

What to do if the hazardous material is both toxic and an oxidizer?

Should you store your dangerous materials according to the WHMIS classification of the Hazardous Product Regulations or according to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations?

What jurisdiction are you under, federal or provincial?

What to do with your compressed gases or your dangerously reactive materials?

What regulations, laws or codes must you follow?

• The National Fire Code of Canada NFCC
• The occupational health and safety Act
• Your province’s health and safety regulations
• The building code
• Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (SOR/86-304)
• Do your insurance companies have any special requirements?
• Etc.

These are just some of the questions you will need to ask yourself.

As an employer, remember that the storage and handling of hazardous materials must be carried out in such a way as to prevent spillage or accidental ignition.

So, to be compliant, reduce incidents, save precious time and have peace of mind, entrust our expert chemist with your storage of hazardous materials using our competitively priced software.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is chemical storage management software?

A chemical storage management software is a tool that allows you to classify your hazardous products, identify incompatible products and place your products in your different locations (warehouses, rooms, cabinets, etc.) to prevent incompatibilities, accidental spillage or lighting. The Kalium Solutions software will also allow you to manage your sensitive products thanks to an opening and expiration date report.

2. What are the requirements for chemical storage?

To ensure safe storage that meets all requirements, several laws, regulations and standards must be followed. Here is where the requirements come from:

• “Règlement sur la santé et la sécurité au travail (RSST)“ : Section X covers the storage and handling of hazardous materials. For provinces other than Quebec, the regulations equivalent to the RSST must be consulted. For companies under federal jurisdiction, the Canada Labour Code must be consulted
• Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code (NFPA-30 1996): NFPA stands for “National Fire Protection Association”. Although the NFPA-30 comes from an American organization, it must be followed in Quebec since it is referenced in Section X of the RSST.
• National Fire Code of Canada (NFCC 2020)
• Building Code

 

Finally, your municipality and insurer may have additional requirements for the storage of your hazardous products.
