With the rising temperatures we are currently experiencing, it is vital to ensure that waste is stored in a safe and appropriate manner.
Flammable waste, such as certain chemicals and materials, can spontaneously ignite when subjected to elevated heat. It is essential to consult the safety data sheets (SDS) for all products stored on your premises. These documents provide important information regarding the correct storage conditions, including temperature limits and environmental requirements.
Waste fires can initiate and spread at an alarming rate, endangering lives and property. It is imperative to follow safety protocols when storing and disposing of waste. This includes segregating hazardous materials, utilizing suitable containment containers, and ensuring that waste storage areas are well-ventilated and compliant with local regulations to significantly reduce the risk of any fire-related incidents.
