General
In general, the lab should provide storage for each of the hazard storage categories (see Hazard Ratings and Storage Recommendations). Also storage should help prevent cross contamination of materials. This can be accomplished with four areas.Pt/Pd chemicals with BLUE and ORANGE storage recommendations:top of page
The BLUE materials (which typically involves the Pt salt) may be stored with the Orange materials if the area is secured as a poison area would be. This should be a cabinet with lock if necessary used only for Pt/Pd materials, measuring equipment, and accessories.Film chemicals with ORANGE storage recommendations:
This can be a separate cabinet or shelves for film chemistry and film processing equipment and accessories.Chemicals with YELLOW storage recommendations:
These should be stored in a separate cabinet away from any flammable or combustible materials. This cabinet should be metal and may require ventilation for some materials.Chemicals with WHITE storage recommendations:
These are typically acids which can be placed in a large plastic tray (to contain potential leaks) under the work sink so that possible fumes may be ventilated with the sink area.
