<strong>What</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>should</strong> <strong>know</strong> <strong>about</strong> storage<br />
<strong>and</strong> drum decontamination<br />
Storage<br />
1. The temperature in the storage area must be between<br />
15°C <strong>and</strong> 40°C. The storage area must be well ventilated.<br />
2. A fire extinguisher must be readily available in the storage<br />
area. If possible, this <strong>should</strong> be a foam extinguisher.<br />
3. Do not stack the drums higher than three levels.<br />
4. Leave enough space between the stacks for visual<br />
inspection.<br />
5. Do not leave the drums in a horizontal position.<br />
Make sure each drum is resting on its base.<br />
Drum decontamination<br />
1. Emptying <strong>and</strong> decontamination of drums must be<br />
carried out in a restricted area. The drum must be<br />
drip-free. Product labels <strong>should</strong> NOT be removed.<br />
2. Wear a breathing mask, goggles, boots <strong>and</strong> long sleeves<br />
while carefully putting the decontamination solution into<br />
the drum.<br />
3. Close the drum completely.<br />
4. Roll the drum at least four times so that the<br />
decontaminant reaches all parts of the drum.<br />
5. Slightly open bung to release the pressure. Leave the<br />
drum like this for at least two days.
