Storage and Handling of Hazardous Chemicals

Storage, Transport and Use of Explosives

The new Australian National Standard for the Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods requires a proactive approach to the management of hazardous chemicals and Coral Sea Containers can provide that approach.

We are proud of our leading role in the design and construction of “HazardStore” custom facilities for compliant storage of a wide range of chemicals and other hazardous substances, including Class 1 Explosives.

This has resulted in the construction of chemical stores and ammunition stores to Australian Standards.

Services that Coral Sea Containers can provide include: Customised storage facilities; Optional accessories to cover all of your storage needs; Upgrading of existing storage; Training programs; Hazard identification; Risk assessment and control; Chemical safety management systems; Customised software packages; Reviews and audits; Emergency planning; and Development of procedures and documentation.

We offer an obligation-free preliminary evaluation service to assess your specific requirements and are able to develop a proposal to cost-effectively engineer a solution to your chemical storage problems.

It is a requirement of current workplace and environmental legislation that Hazardous Substances be stored in specifically prescribed and properly constructed storage facilities.

Standard features of the Coral Sea Containers facilities include roof and wall ventilation, bund, drainage valves, earth stake, MSDS holders, anchor points and secure locking.

We can also offer a variety of optional features for installation including shelving, decanting bench, static electricity dissipation for decanting flammables and lighting, while Safety Cabinet storage facilities are also available for various classes of Hazardous Substances.

Coral Sea Containers, with two qualified inspectors, are in a position to be able to offer certification of compliance of our “HazardStores” to the relevant Australian Standard.

The nature and quantity of our customer’s inventory will largely determine the type of “HazardStore” that is required.

You are welcome to seek our expert guidance to ensure that all Standards are met, including Australian standards for the design of special mobility access for people with disabilities.
