Re: [DCHAS-L] OSHA REGULATIONS FOR STORING CHEMICALS ON A SHELF




Sara Man:
 
WRT: Does anybody knows the OSHA regulations for storing or keeping 
chemicals on shelves?
 
When I need an OSHA citation for safe storage of chemicals, I use 29 CFR 
1910.176 (b), which requires that "storage of material shall not create a 
hazard." 
 
To comply with this rule, you have to know stuff that's not in the 
regulations. Consider industry - standard documents, like the Prudent 
Practices books.
