<strong>Hazardous</strong> <strong>Materials</strong>: <strong>Chemical</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Asset</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong><br />
Other <strong>Storage</strong> Cabinets<br />
It is SLAC policy to allow storage of small quantities of non-flammable, non-highly<br />
hazardous materials in other storage cabinets if present in quantities below the exempt<br />
limits for that chemical class as provided by the California Fire Code, provided the<br />
following conditions are met: 7<br />
The cabinet is clearly identified through exterior labeling as containing chemicals.<br />
The total quantity of chemicals stored in this fashion per cabinet is less than five<br />
gallons.<br />
The cabinet is shown on the CMS map. 8<br />
The cabinet is included in the custodian monthly inspections.<br />
Gas Racks and Compressed Gas Cylinder <strong>Storage</strong><br />
At SLAC, gas cylinders are managed in one of two ways: as individual cylinders or as<br />
groups of gas cylinders known as six-packs (six individual cylinders managed as a<br />
unit and connected by manifold). See Chapter 38, “Compressed Gas Cylinders”, 9 for<br />
more information.<br />
