1 Know the hazards

Before you store or label any cleaning product, you need to know what kind of hazards it may present. Cleaning products can be classified into four main categories: corrosive, flammable, toxic, or reactive. Corrosive products can burn or damage skin, eyes, or metal surfaces. Flammable products can catch fire or explode when exposed to heat, sparks, or flames. Toxic products can cause illness or death if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Reactive products can generate heat, gas, or pressure when mixed with other substances. You can find out the hazards of a cleaning product by reading its safety data sheet (SDS) or label.

2 Store them securely

Once you know the hazards of a cleaning product, you need to store it securely to prevent accidents or misuse. You should store cleaning products in a designated area that is well-ventilated, dry, cool, and away from sources of heat, ignition, or sunlight. You should also keep cleaning products away from food, drinks, medicines, or personal care items. You should store cleaning products in their original containers or in approved secondary containers that are compatible with the product. You should never store cleaning products in containers that look like food or drink containers, such as bottles, cans, or jars. You should also avoid storing incompatible cleaning products together, such as acids and bases, oxidizers and reducers, or bleach and ammonia.

Storage is very important. Especially in the kind of material the shelves are made from. Ensure there are no leakages and shelves arre properly lablled against chemicals stored.

3 Label them clearly

The final step to safely store and label cleaning products is to label them clearly and accurately. You should always keep the original labels on the cleaning products or use approved secondary labels that include the same information. The labels should indicate the name of the product, the hazards it poses, the precautions to take, and the first aid measures to follow in case of exposure. You should also use color-coded labels or symbols to indicate the type of hazard, such as red for flammable, blue for corrosive, yellow for toxic, or white for reactive. You should check the labels regularly and replace them if they are damaged, faded, or missing. You should also label any empty containers as such and dispose of them properly.

By following these tips, you can safely store and label cleaning products and protect yourself, your co-workers, and your environment from potential harm. Remember to always read the SDS and labels of the cleaning products you use and follow the instructions and recommendations. If you have any questions or concerns about storing or labeling cleaning products, consult your supervisor or safety officer.

Using color codes is a useful. Authorised personnel should be very conversant with these codes. The color codes should be documented in the SOPs for handling.
