What’s the Difference Between a 3PL that Does Chemical Warehousing vs. Warehousing in General?
A chemical warehouse is a facility that’s been designed with the safe storage and management of hazardous chemicals in mind. They’re essential in the chemical industry, ensuring that various types of chemicals—including flammable, toxic, and corrosive substances—are stored in compliance with safety regulations.
Chemical storage facilities are equipped with more advanced safety features to mitigate risks associated with chemical storage, such as:
- Ventilation systems
- Spill containment measures, like spill kit stations & chemical wash stations
- Fire protection systems, like sprinkler systems
Proper management within chemical storage warehouses helps prevent accidents and ensures that chemicals are handled in a manner that protects both team members and the environment.
